I think i do, to make it simpler; option A says start allocation now,
option B says wait until 'allocation period' pasting the 3 important lines
below:

   - Allocations from the IANA may begin once the pool is declared active.
   - In each "IPv4 allocation period", each RIR will receive a single
"IPv4allocation unit" from the
   IANA.
   - An "IPv4 allocation period" is defined as a 6-month period following 1
   March or 1 September in each year.

Line one says allocation may begin immediately....with a 'but' and the but
is that it should follow the 'allocation period' which is covered in line 2
and 3. So tell me, if the allocation starts immediately how then does line
2 and 3 feature in the whole distribution?
