Depends. > > If we do tweak the current policy, there???s one consequence that has to be considered though: the integrity and accuracy of the RIPE database. Of course, right you are. Changing policy must not be done without considering the consquences, and I did not want to imply that. The problem with this thread, though, is that people have been complaining about lots of implicit things, which might or might not actually *be* a consequence of the change (like, stuff no longer present in v2), without bothering to consider the proposal itself. And this, frankly, is just a little bit annoying. (Regarding the DB accuracy, I think Sander has answered this upthread in a way I find convincing: if trading for these /22s is limited, of course someone who trades "under the desk" will not be able to update the registry, so potentially someone else uses the /22 and can not document that. Would I buy a /22 that I can not legally transfer into my LIR? No, because I'm all at the mercy of the seller - if he closes his LIR, "my" /22 is gone. So I'd go and find a unencumbed /22 on the market - and in my book, this would mean "mission accomplished, trading discouraged") Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
