[address-policy-wg] Suggestion to replace IPv4 waiting list with auctions

I don't think this will work and it not fair.

Those resources should be provided only to new-entrants not new-LIRs from exisiting members.

    Greetings,

    in todays WG session Marco Schmidt pointed out that more than half of
    the /24s allocated from the waiting list pool go to members with
    multiple LIRs. The number of newly created LIRs eligible for a /24 has
    increased a lot in recent months, to the point where requests can no
    longer be filled from the available pool but new LIRs have to wait for
    blocks coming out of quarantine. This change appears to be due to market
    value for IPv4 blocks being now significantly larger than the cost for
    creating a new LIR and maintaining it for the two year holding period.
    The result of this is that newcomers have no easy access to a first IPv4
    block but have to wait in line together with multi-LIR address hoarders,
    defeating the purpose of the waiting list policy.

    I suggest to replace the waiting list with the following system:
    - /24s becoming available are put to an auction.
    - every interested member organisation (NOT: LIR) can make a bid of an
      amount that is not visible to the other bidders.
    - highest bid wins.

    Expected result would be less requests from address hoarders because
    they could get address blocks for a similar price on the open market
    without the additional overhead of creating a new member. Newcomers on
    the other hand would have to become members to be able to hold addresses
    in the first place, and can use the auction to get access to a properly
    quarantined address block to start their business.
