Joe,

IMO, it's time now to think about what we do *beyond* the end of the
free pool when IPv4 addressing policy changes to a zero-sum game.
Where giving one org new addresses means taking them from someone
else.

The address market strategy might work. Ought to work. But we should
probably make some contingency plans.

As for changes to the policy right now to try to slow the rate of
consumption, frankly it's far to late in the day. We'd waste time and
acrimony to gain months if we're lucky.

That's my 2 cents.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
