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

[Douglas Onyango]

Hi Fiona,
Whilst I don't have a problem with the position you state here, I feel
the gist of the discussion should also be captured to provide proper
context to the discussion and subsequently the position/decision.

My view on the contributions on the list so far is that the community
offered a "no objection" --- rather than actual support for option A
which you state in your email.

Regards

It is not clear whether this means that allocation from the Recovered IPv4 Pool should be made straight away or whether they should happen at the start of the next "IPv4 allocation period," the "6-month period following 1 March or 1 September."
