Personally I agree with you that people are likely to hang on to what Ipv4 space they have until things have moved on so far that this space is useless. However, what space is recovered is probably best shared according to need, rather than just staying with the RIR where it was originally allocated. This principle is what this global policy is about.
Hi, Nigel Thank you for the clarification. I'm a bit worried that this policy as it stands could lead to address resources flowing from resource starved regions, to regions who are today already resource rich. I can't work out if it's more equitable to let that happen, or more equitable for us to try to encourage address poor regions to retain their resources to cater for internet growth in these regions. I would want to see an exhaustive list of scenarios that are possible under this policy before voicing a formal opinion. Kind regards, Andy Davidson
