[address-policy-wg] agreement

Hi Sebastian,

I understand your point but please consider that setting up a new LIR does
not mean you are immediately eligible to receive additional /22.

- allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC
every 18 months.
- Additional /22 IPv4 allocations can be only provided from address space
outside 185/8
- Only LIRs with less than a /20 in total are eligible to receive additional
allocations
- LIRs must document their IPv6 deployment as part of the request
- Allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC
every 18 months.

And you cannot transfer out your /22 for 2years,

So affection to the depletion rate looks less than setting up multi LIR to
receive immediately an /22 from 185/8 or encouraging small businesses in
need of small blocks to become LIR. 

Regards,

Arash Naderpour

On the other hand, there is also the possibility that 2015-05 will increase
the depletion rate, not only because more address space will be handed out,
but because it will make it more attractive (from a financial point of view)
to set up a new LIR when you get more than a /22 out of it. That is, it
might make the secondary market less attractive.
