I'm not so sure about that. But maybe it would be better to promote RIPE PDP at your local user groups (xNOG), so that more people get involved in the process. If you just look at the member count of RIPE (and no, you do not have to be a member to participate in the PDP) and the members involved in the address policy working group there is a huge gap. So either people do not care at all, or they can live with the policies that other members of the community come up with. And IP Brokers ARE part of the community if you like it or not.
Why Elvis, a well know IP Broker from V4Escrow, proposed this instead of "Unused space should be returned to RIPE"???
Well I can only speak for myself. For me it is important that the RIPE database is as accurate as possible. I'm pretty sure "Unused space should be returned to RIPE" is just not gonna happen, even if this ends up in a policy. When we allow transfers, we have a better chance that the records are kept up to date. Regards André
