While we do need everyone to start supporting IPv6 as soon as
possible, the requirement for dual-stack connectivity means there will
be a continued need for IPv4 addresses, at least for transitional
technologies, until almost everyone has transitioned to IPv6 and all
IPv4 islands are using something like NAT-PT to talk to the IPv6
Internet. That will take a few years past IANA exhaustion, at best,
and may take a decade or more.

I had a 3rd item:
3) If we are so busy "evangelizing" about ipv6 - isnt it
contradictory that we are also planning to dish out ipv4s in
future? Given the percieved beauty and functionality of ipv6
shouldnt we be talking of policy on how to "bury" rather than "re-
allocating" any v4 IPs are recovered?
Sorry I came late into this and so my questions may seem abit out of
place but I need to be brought upto speed asap.

Vincent,
I have no comments on the Policy other than seek to
understand some of the rational behind it such as:
1) If the RIR are the ones that recover the v4 IPs, what is
the rational of declaring the same to IANA and then
subsequently applying to get them back? What value is
IANA adding - i seem not to get it. Initially I assumed that
IANA could be aggretating to get economical sizes for
subsequent reallocation but from the examples given in the
Policy that doesnt necessarily apply i.e. you surrender a
/24 and most likely get back a /24. Where the value here?
2) out of curiousity, what's magical about the March/Sept
cycle, I would have thought Jan/June is more conventional
i.e. financial/operational calender.
walu.
