+1 to every thing Sylvain said, and -1 to proposal. On 9/20/13 06:19 , Sylvain Vallerot wrote:
Hi all,
Unfortunately we do not support this new proposal, because conservation still is a goal to us, as IPv4 public ressource keeps being vital for many structures.
Deregulation + commercial transfer make the ressources governed by sole market, which we do not agree with. We consider Ripe NCC should stay in its regulation role and not give public ressources away to the private sector and market.
Moreover, the rationale "supporting arguments" list doesn't convince us at all, let me be more explicit :
1. reduced bureaucracy :
I do not consider proper use of ressources and justification as just "bureaucracy" but as a necessity to take good care
2. for long-term business planning: from 2 year to infinity ?
is this serious, we are talking about IPv4 here ?
3. Makes the policy easier to read and understand
are we stupid or something ?
4. Removes conflict between "conservation" and "aggregation"
this cannot be a supporting argument, one does not just suppress a criteria to ease the problem
5. LIR Audits becomes less time-consuming
properly made documentation should not take time to show for LIRs, and Ripe does not expect time spared for itself on the other side
6. Reduction of RIPE NCC workload
or not : see impact analysis part C, that says no workload nor financial benefit is to be expected in the Ripe NCC.
7. Elimination of incentive to "game the system".
supress rules so no ones will cheat them ? this is nonsense.
8. Makes IPv4 and IPv6 policies more similar in practise
IPv4 and IPv6 are not similar, why should policies be ?
Unfortunately counter-arguments have been provided for each "con" arguments. I deeply regret it was not done for "pro" arguments because many (above) do not resist a tiny bit of attention.
Eventually, it was not mentionned (despite this was discussed previously) that the disappearance of the conservation goal could stop the unused space collection, thus artificially accelerating the depletion and its disastrous effects for some little structures.
Best regards, Sylvain Vallerot
