Re: [OPSAWG] Second Draft update and more input requested for draft-azinger-additional-private-ipv4-space-issues

Hi Marla,

I have just read the document, and appreciate the changes.
But still have some comments :)

On 5.1, it is written:

"... However, this benefit incurs a cost by reducing the pool of global unicast
   addresses available to end users."

I would say that the those addresses would be available to any "organization", including ISPs. And not only "end users" The wording "end user" might have a special meaning in the RIR context, indicating those organizations that do not provide Internet access to third parties but need their dedicated set of IPs.

Regarding the objectives of the document. I liked the added part of the abstract, but still does not understand it, specially considering the point 5.3.
It kind of leaves a message that some action needs to be taken, because the problem is out there and will have a strong impact on the free space.

Still, I think mention should be make to policies already implemented in various RIRs regarding how to deal with the last /8 (basically, making hard for an ISP to get a big chunk of addresses)

Thanks and regards
Ricardo Patara
