Adapting the allocation / assignment policy for IPv4 exhaustion.

Section 11.1 critical-infrastructure eligibility and repeat requests · The supplied new text expressly allows a critical-infrastructure request even when the requester has already received IPv4 resources, and exempts critical-infrastructure requests from the restriction on receiving additional resources from the reserve. It removes the supplied old text's separate six-month restriction and its requirements to follow item 2.3.3.2, submit an IPv6 implementation plan, and demonstrate at least 80% utilization.

Section 11.1 reserve activation and treatment of pending requests · The reserve-activation trigger changes from inability to satisfy a request using the section 11.2 reserve to inability to satisfy a request in full because of insufficient IPv4 resources in the LACNIC region. The pending-request rule also changes from requests larger than a /22 receiving only a /22 to applications smaller than a /22 receiving only a /22.

Section 11.1 independence cross-reference · The supplied old text states that this policy does not replace section 11.2 and that the section 11.2 reserve is independent; the supplied new text instead states that it does not replace section 11.1 while continuing to describe the section 11.2 reserve as independent.

Section 11.2 repeat allocations and qualification requirements · The supplied new text removes the separate prohibition on future allocations or assignments during a six-month period, retaining a single rule permitting additional resources after six months and critical-infrastructure requests up to a /22 at any time. It also removes the supplied old text's requirements for recurring critical-infrastructure requests to follow item 2.3.3.2, include an IPv6 implementation plan, and demonstrate at least 80% utilization.

Terminology across language versions · The supplied new version adds an explicit terminology-harmonization proposal: Spanish "suave" is to be replaced by "gradual," and Portuguese "tranquilo" by "gradativo." The supplied old version contains no corresponding terminology proposal.
