The goal was to prevent potential abuse of the current section 4.10 because of possibly vague language. If this was possible, an organization could obtain up to a /24 from the /10, once every six months.  This could cause the /10 to become depleted in as soon as 2.5-3.0 years, or sometime in 2014. 

I'm not sure how you arrived at your figures or your understanding of the original
goal. The original goal was to create criteria under which space from 4.10 could
actually get issued by ARIN based on feedback from staff that the original
policy didn't really given them sufficient guidance.

How we got here was an effort to achieve a rational compromise between the
goals of 4.10 and the needs of several other segments of the community in
order to broaden support for the proposal.

Rather than closing possible loopholes, we would delete the current policy. We would tie up the last /8. Define what are acceptable architectures for an organization. And put ARIN in the business of short term allocation “loans” that it would have to figure out how to validate, administer, and recall.

I don't think you are making a valid characterization of the current proposal text.

Yes, the new proposal ties up the entire /8.

It does not define what are acceptable architectures for any organization. It merely
places tighter restrictions on address space from that last /8 in order to facilitate
and encourage IPv6 deployment.

I have no idea what you mean by short term allocation "loans". I don't see any
part of the policy that fits that description, so, I'd like to request some clarification
there as to what, specifically, you are referring to.

Please re-evaluate this based on text that will be distributed tonight.

There are a number of changes and I think the newer text is be
far better.
