[rpd] Implementation of Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPV4 Allocation Mechanism

[McTim]

Hi Fiona,

Since we have 2 of the authors of the policy from our region, let's ask
them
what was their intent when writing the policy?

I think it is a question about "re-arranging the deck chairs" and will have
little to no impact on our region, but as always, could be wrong!

In other words, I have no strong opinion either way.

Cheers,

McTim
