This proposal seeks to create an IPv4 reserve pool equivalent to a /15, which would be used to satisfy requests for addresses that will be used to deploy infrastructure considered critical or essential for the operation of the Internet in the region.
Rationale (Describe the problem you intend to solve)IPv4 exhaustion in the region has led to the division of the remaining IPv4 address space into blocks that will be used in the different phases defined under the IPv4 depletion plan. During Phase 2, IPv4 addresses may be assigned to existing members as well as to new entrants. During Phase 3, only new entrants will be eligible to receive IPv4 addresses.
Under existing policies, once Phase 3 is triggered it might be difficult to assign addresses for implementing or improving the region's critical infrastructure.
This proposal seeks to create a reserve that is not subject to IPv4 depletion phases, with the intention of making it easier to assign addresses for the deployment of critical infrastructure even after Phase 3 is triggered.

Presented at:LACNIC 25 (02/05/2016)
This proposal seeks to create an IPv4 reserve pool equivalent to a /15 that will survive the termination of the reserves for IPv4 exhaustion. This reserve pool would be used to satisfy requests for addresses that will be used to deploy infrastructure considered critical or essential for the operation of the Internet in the region once the space reserved for Phase 3 is exhausted. The space for the new reserve will be set aside once the proposal reaches consensus and is ratified by the Board.
Rationale (Describe the problem you intend to solve)In the LACNIC region, IPv4 exhaustion has led to the division of the remaining IPv4 address space into blocks that will be used in the various phases defined under the IPv4 Exhaustion Plan. During Phase 2, IPv4 addresses may be assigned to existing members as well as to new entrants. During Phase 3, only new entrants will be eligible to receive IPv4 addresses.
This proposal seeks to create a reserve that will survive IPv4 exhaustion phases, and its intention is to make it easier to assign addresses for the deployment of critical infrastructure once there is no more available space.
