We're in the RIPE region, so we cannot do policy-making for the other regions (there are global policies, but since this would affect address distribution by the RIPE NCC, it's not a global policy). So, in the RIPE service region, which countries would qualify as "less developed countries"? By which metric?

Since there are not many /24s available, and the waiting list is long, it's hard to see how this would make a tangible benefit for the not very clearly specified beneficiaries.

How can "you can have more IPv4 space" encourage IPv6 deployment? Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
