The need of managing the decreasing pool might involve an increased
work effort per address block transferred between entities. Whenever
I find that I'm up against organisational challenges from the NCC I go
and read the first meeting minutes from something that could seem to be
a completely different organisation:

	As a working title for the activities the meeting adopted the name RIPE
	(Reseaux IP Europeen).
	
	...
	
	7 Network Registration
	All participants agree that there should be some sort of registration of
	the networks taking part in the European IP net. This way any problems
	that may occur can be signaled to the responsible person. It was stressed
	that this registration activity is just a matter of keeping the registry
	up to date: in no way it should constitute some sort of authority. A
	'whois' style of information service was suggested as a useful tool to
	access registry information. (Action: Anders Hillbo)
	
	Also a list of gateways should be created, describing which networks
	are authorised to use particular gateways.
	
	No formal policy statements were made and there should be no thresholds
	for organisations who wish to connect to the net, except for a description
	of the network and information about contact addresses to be entered
	into the registry. The need was recognised to write a document describing
	the ethics and acceptable use of the European IP network. (Action: all)
