The AC recognizes its commitment to the community and after introspection and discussion has concluded that this is the best course of action. Please provide comments either through PPML or directly to individual AC members.

I support the AC's desire to have a stable policy framework.  We need to
focus on moving forward with IPv6, not managing the last /24 to be
assigned or allocated.  Knowing a number of the AC members, I believe if
they receive a novel policy proposal that will help in the transition
from IPv4 to IPv6 they will consider that as an appropriate change to
consider.
