In general, I agree with this approach, although I feel that 
the last sentence needs a bit more explanation like "to cover
the shortfall" or else the statement needs to be accompanied
by some text, and maybe a diagram, to explain this to executives
who have never heard of IP addresses or of ARIN.

On the one hand a statement needs to be direct enough that it
spurs the recipient to send it to senior management for a 
decision, and on the other hand, the statement needs to 
be both informative and convincing when the senior management
reads it.
