Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I have thinking at what to answer regarding the comments on this
proposal.<br>
<br>
Firstly, the /22 from the last /8 policy proposal aimed to create a
method for anyone to receive at least a few (1024) IPv4 addresses by
becoming a member of the RIPE NCC.<br>
Even then, the proposers had noted that anyone can open multiple
LIRs and receive from the RIPE NCC more than 1024 IP addresses and
asked the RIPE NCC to be vigilant. [1]<br>
<br>
What happens now is not in the spirit of that policy proposal as the
/22 from the RIPE NCC does not have the two years holding period so
a few found a way to make a business using this loophole.<br>
This policy proposal is just trying to add the same holding period
for a transfer of the /22 as it is already for the rest of the
allocations made by the RIPE NCC.<br>
<br>
<br>
While I do agree that if the RIPE NCC free pool would be depleted,
the market would takeover and normalize the price, the community has
decided to have IPv4 addresses available for anyone that<br>
�wants to become a member of the RIPE NCC and therefore request
& receive a /22. <br>
I think that a separate proposal could tackle this issue, there were
some discussions last year (if I remember correctly) and some
members of this community suggested the increasing the limit from
/22 to /21. That may deplete the free pool faster, but it will still
slowly bleed out in a few years.<br>
<br>
If we do not agree that this policy proposal is fair and needed, I
predict that we will see more and more companies opening LIRs just
to make use of this loophole and make a profit from selling one or
more /22s from the last /8.<br>
Actually, this policy proposal may have already harmed the free pool
because if it does not get approved, more people have found out of
the loophole and nothing will stop them from using it, they will
have the endorsement of the community to just go ahead and open
multiple LIRs. <br>
I would not be surprised to see a very large ISP or (content)
hosting company setting up 1.000 LIRs to get 1million IP addresses..
and if they setup 1024 LIRs in the same 'day' they may even get a
/12 as a contiguous block. <br>
In that case, would you find it fair that if someone wants to use a
loophole (1024 times) they can get a /12 from the RIPE NCC while
others need to use the market? <br>
<br>
Considering these, Martin (and whoever else does not like this
policy proposal), please let me know if you oppose to to this
proposal as it is written and if you have any suggestion on what
would be acceptable.<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Elvis<br>

"Some organisations may set up multiple LIR registrations in an
effort to get more address space than proposed. The RIPE NCC must be
vigilant regarding these, but the authors accept that it is hard to
ensure complete compliance."<br>
