<DIV dir=ltr>I support this policy.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN: 0px">The remaining space will be distributed, by assigning each RIR five block units (/8s) and the remaining space will be assigned to the RIR that submitted the last request.

<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN: 0px">X is the IPv4 (/8) unit blocks available before the last request and R is the number of RIRs recognized by ICANN</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN: 0px">Otherwise, I think the policy is OK as it is. I wish we would have looked at _equitable distribution instead of _equal distribution as the needs of the different regions are different. But I think we all need to realise that IPv4 exhaustion will happen sooner or later no matter how much we try to prolong it's life time in the different regions. The best option is to deploy IPv6.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN: 0px">I hope we can get global consensus on this as soon as possible.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN: 0px">It's a long time since we met in AfriNIC-6 in Nigeria, where the first BoF meeting discuss the IPv4 exhaustion and it's impact on AfriNIC region. Before and after that meeting Roque, Francisco, Dr.Didier and me have been working on a proposal for equal distribution of the remaining IPv4 address space across the existing RIR regions (attached). Roque & Francisco from LACNIC region have submit it in the last LACNIC meeting and get consensus on it; and I'm here would like to propose it for discussion and comments through our AfriNIC mailing lists.</DIV>
