No, more people than you expected oppose it because you make an explicit reference to allocation made after a certain date in the past: <snip> All allocations made by the RIPE NCC to LIRs after 14 September 2012 will be marked in the RIPE Database as “ALLOCATED FINAL”. </snip>
This is the date when the last /8 policy kicked in. It could also say "all blocks allocated by the last /8 policy" or some wording like that. You must know that? Why does the date bother you?
Just remove "after 14 September 2012" and you ban all transfers. Not necessarily a bad idea.
That would revert us to back to pre-market policy. Who would want that and why?
Also, those "heavily disadvantaged members" as you describe them, only have received address space thanks to a particularly selfless decision by the community at the time to dedicate the last remaining address space to that purpose, rather than just blowing through it by early 2013.
Like in "we won't kill you with a bullet in the head, we will kill you by letting you slowly bleed to death". Thanks. Now you try to regulate how you are allowed (or not) to heal yourself.
We can only heal everyone by moving to IPv6. There is no cure in IPv4 land. Regards Sebastian -- GPG Key: 0x93A0B9CE (F4F6 B1A3 866B 26E9 450A 9D82 58A2 D94A 93A0 B9CE) 'Are you Death?' ... IT'S THE SCYTHE, ISN'T IT? PEOPLE ALWAYS NOTICE THE SCYTHE. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
