What i don't like is the ability for someone to create a new LIR knowing it will be decommissioned later, because the only intent is to "catch" a /22. > Renumbering is generally delicate for acess customers, and goes to very > difficult (adminstratively and process-wise), sometimes limit impossible > to running server and services plafroms. Yes, if one organization feels it needs to run away from renumbering, the solution is to become a LIR and get/use its own /22. It will have to do it once, but it will be the last time, provided they always keep their LIR up & running. > The idea is to prevent address hoarding in the first place, not to > impose insane limitations on already running things. Shouldn't be a problem if the LIR wasn't created with the original intent of closing it down after some time... Cheers, Carlos
