i know that only commenting on "interesting" policies which concern oneself is a 
bad habbit, but really, how many people does this one concern at all?
The proposer should have sneaked something in the text like "..and regular IPv4 
assignments will stop on 31.12.2010." or so :-)

Since i haven't needed any temp. assignments yet, i can't say much about the 
text itself - i think the comments from Marco etc. were reasonable though.

I just like to comment on the general idea now.
Basically i didn't really react to this proposal because my first thought was 
"on no, not another legacy IP regulation policy. I don't want any new ones about
IPv4.".

OTOH since it only concerns TEMPORARY assignments, it's nothing permanent
and can be changed again any time in the future.
AND it even does help a bit with the depletion of IPv4 since there would
be some medium large block being reserved and taken out of the free pool
for this ;-)

So, in the greater sense of why i think is right, i have no problems
with this policy, and it might help some people organizing bigger
conferences and similar events in the near future.
Since it seems like bigger continuous PI blocks already get scarce, it's
about time to think about such things requiring a larger block.
No objections.
