So can a organisation in phase 1 request a /18, go and roll it out, and
come back 9 months later and request another /18? With proof of usage and
all the other requirements. Even with proof of having rolled out both IPv4
and IPv6 to everyone. It does not seem so from my reading. It seems that
organisation have to then sit idle until the 24 months are past before they
are allowed to request again. Or get it from somewhere else even though
AFRINIC might still have addresses left.

I think that is the point. For a small organisation a /18 might last a
lifetime, but not for a bigger organisation. Limiting the maximum size you
can request at a time, already make things fair. Adding a time period makes
it unfair towards bigger organisations again.
