=But what is a "very good explanation" ? Is RIPE going to start judging what
=are "good" and "bad" applications ?

  good point!

  But even before going into technical or administrative details, 
  could the NCC please provide us with 

  - motivation and background for opening that issue

  - an educated guess about the absolute or relative impact on the amount
    of remaining unused IPv4 address space, both in prospect as well as in
    retrospect?
