This policy is not about "return allocations", but about reducing the burn rate by reserving /22s for those who actually want to run a network with it, instead of trade away quickly for a short gain.
When an allocation is not transferable to another member, one day they need to be returned to RIPE NCC.
Yes. But that's a side effect of not allowing transfers of these /22s. Basically, the discussion *should* try to focus on this point, and not run around the mill with non-sensical arguments. - do we want to restrict trading of "last /8 policy" /22s, yes or no? If we want restrictions, then this will have consequences (like, if you close your LIR and are not selling off the whole business, the /22 will be returned). If we want *no* restrictions, this will also have consequences - namely, some (few) people making money based on resources other folks have set aside to be there for the long-term good of the RIPE region, which many others see as immoral and abusive. But do not complain about the potential consequences, please just answer the question. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
