The idea of the last /8 should be around transition and business v. uptake,
not process and vagueness. You've been writing policy that makes it harder
to conduBusiness doesn't handle vagueness very well. Can you explain why you
think that this would be better than an acceptable use list? Or perhaps the
author can explain it himself?

BTW, from your actual proposal:

This is still not a good reason to support this proposal. It falls VERY
short in reach and in depth. It's similar to Joe Maimon's proposal which was
declined in the petition process and I am sorry, but I think that this
should be declined as well.
