Hello Saeed,
Now, isn't it possible, that RIPE NCC develops a policy ( maybe there one ) to take back these advertised address spaces ? because their initial criteria is not valid any more ? ( obviously those organization, do not need these address spaces. )
I can understand LEASING some IPs for some period of time, but I can't understand selling them.
We (this working group) had that discussion in 2007 when policy proposal 2007-08 was introduced. At the time it was decided that reallocation (transfers) were a better / more viable solution than trying to reclaim unused addresses. Please take a look at the mailing list archives to see how the discussion went. It was a quite long discussion.
