[rpd] Soft Landing Review

[Dewole Ajao]

Thanks for the email, Mark. If I may quickly summarize your email, you 
are recommending:

1. Maintain phase 1 and phase 2 of soft-landing status as presently defined

2. Add a phase 3 in which the strategic reserve /12 (that was hitherto 
for unforeseen use) is unlocked and used strictly for organizations that 
have less than /22 at the time of application. Allocation/assignment 
size for each application will be limited to /22. Qualified 
organizations can apply up to twice for (/22) allocations/assignments in 
phase 3 (as long as their final total is not greater than /21).

3. Apply non-mobility to any resources received in phases 2 and 3. I 
guess this deals with the problem of people registering new 
organizations just to access resources and then selling the resources in 
a transfer. Such new companies could still be sold lock, stock and 
barrel though?

Dear PDWG, please share your thoughts on the discussion list so we can 
fine-tune.

Regards,
Dewole.
