[rpd] possible update to AFPUB-2026-IPv4-002-DRAFT01 "Amendment of Utilisation in Soft Landing"

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Jordi,

I want to be sure i understand your intent of the section below:
"....and in these cases, the request is treated as a first allocation or
request..."

Does it mean that the exception will only be granted once to member? if
that is the case i agree, if that is not the case, then i disagree. I think
there should be a limit to the round trip per qualified member.

I will also suggest a minor edit as per below:

"The above requirement of 90% is waived for network operators...."

Regards
