"This proposal helps to ensure the distribution of the ‘Final /8’ (103/8) block is consistent with its original purpose, for distribution for new entrants to the industry."
Isn't it the purpose of a market to allocate scarce resources, rather than a corrupt bureaucracy?
103/3 means 103 X /8 ? or 103.0.0.0/8?
the latter.
That sound you heard was ColoCrossing management momentarily erupting in joy.
"103 new /8s? WOO HOO! No need for ipv6 now..."
A market sometimes needs some "guidance" to not devolve into a monopoly.
On another note: this thing went through six revisions and no-one bothered to spellcheck it?!
Too late- we already have the RIRs :-)
"Did not reach consensus at APNIC 43 and was returned to the author and the mailing list for further discussion."

"14 September 2017 Version 6 of the proposal reached consensus at the APNIC 44 AMM."
Say what you will- they're still more decisive, and less expensive than the UN.
Sooo, as a new "provider" we can get a slice™ of that?
