[address-policy-wg] Use of the Reserved IP Pool

I'm nearly sorry for this late tackle, but I'll just use my honeymoon as a
valid excuse. ;)

That's how I felt when the subject came up earlier this year, and I haven't
been here long.

However, new list members should be able to address their questions and
worries in some way.

Regretfully, I don't see an easy way to point to the mailing list archives
for the discussion either, because there have been several (many, as far as
I can tell) discussions, but perhaps the list of archived proposals would
give Daniel a certain overview of what's been going on in the past years,
as well as access to the assessments of each policy proposal. It's a huge
task to go through these, to be sure, but I think it's necessary when
Daniel wants to change the policy that he's at least familiar with the past
4-5 years' worth of policy proposals did and didn't evolve into the current
policy.

Current proposals:

A few examples that may be relevant to Daniel's concern:

There is, of course, "Allocations from the last /8" from 2010 (before my
time):

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2010-02

The "run out fairly" policy:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-06

There is the policy proposal about PI assignments from the last /8, which
was withdrawn:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-04

(Discussions:
https://www.google.no/search?q=address-policy-wg+archives+PI+Assignments+from+the+last+%2F8
)

There is the proposal about removing the requirement for a minimum
allocation size:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-01

Also the post-depletion adjustment to the policy, which also saw some
relevant discussion, particularly concerning "need", which I think bears
some relevance to Daniel's arguments about how to tell whether someone
should get an additional /24:

There are other proposals which may be relevant, the above are just
examples.

I would wish that each proposal had links to archived discussion threads,
but that's just wishful thinking now – Google is our friend in finding
these old discussions, based on e.g. the policy text title and key phrases
in the policy change text.
