Re: [address-policy-wg] 2016-03 Discussion Period extended until 15 July 2016 (Locking Down the Final /8 Policy)

Hi,

My suggesting is instead of removing the main problem (i.e. "lack of IPv4 for those who need"), please bring policies on the table which help those who really require IP, can get IP.

I wish we could, but IPv4 has run out. If we went back to the previous allocation policy and would hand out addresses from the pool based on bed then that pool would be empty in a month or two, and then we would be in a worse situation than we are now because then even handing out a /22 to a new LIR would be impossible. We allowed transfers to get unused allocations back in use. If you need more than your /22 then that is where you need to go. RIPE NCC doesn't have enough addresses to give everybody what they want. Cheers, Sander
