this has been decided by proposers and WG chairs based on your discussion
and the upcoming AP meeting at RIPE72 (next wednesday) - keep the proposal
active until after the discussion there (see below), then decide how to
proceed.


From the discussion it was very clear that there is no consensus today
to go ahead - without going into detail, it's clear that there are two
strong factions, one that wants to preserve the remaining /22s for 
"as long as possible", while the other one wants to ease the pain for 
those LIRs that have too little IPv4 today, willing to incur earlier 
total run-out as a consequence.

Given 2016-03 as a proposal that tries to restrict /22 distribution even
more, we now need to basically agree as a working group which is the
path we want to follow

  - leave things as they are (with minor tweaks)
  - be more restrictive (2016-03)
  - be more liberal in handing out addresses (2015-05)

so the chairs have decided that this needs a somewhat wider discussion
than focussing on just the individual proposals - and based on that, the
proposers can then either witdraw, or tweak their proposals to match the
general direction.

We want this discussion to take place next Wednesday, 09:30, in 
Copenhagen (plus remote participation, of course) - mainly because it is
much easier to get a feeling for the "general direction" when doing a
face to face discussion than by e-mail.

Of course, the consequence of that discussion will be "specific proposals
on the list" (or not, we'll see) - so as usual, the consensus building
will still happen here on the list.

See ya next week,

Gert Doering
