[address-policy-wg] 2015-01 New Policy Proposal (Alignment ofTransfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations)

Hi everybody,

This policy proposal gets +1 support from me, a rookie.

My little experience is so recent but so clear:
RIPE wants to burn out this resources or at least make this resources 
available does not matter to who.
Maybe someone thinks this way will be the IPv6 time or maybe someone 
owns a lot of resources and wants to make much more money from them for 
a while... don't know.
Too young in this to understand, anyway this looks to me slightly far 
from the spirit of the last /8 policy I read.

I think the support of the policy would be correct but it can certainly 
higher the market price and if there is no way to stop big player this 
could be converted in a mess.
Thee proposal is a good start but I think the community needs something 
better.

I would go this way:
- approve 24 months holding time
- forbid companies (not LIRs) holding more than one /22 if they already 
hold resources before allocated before /8 policy

Older resource holder allocated before /8 policy had the chance in the 
past to request resources for sligtly lower costs.
They are in the market and they have experience in routing and managin 
IPs, they should (must) start IPv6 deployment as an example for others.

kind regards
Riccardo Gori
