Hello Corin, In your case i understand but I still don`t understand why force small clients to become LIR only for a /22 and in some case they will not use entirely, when we can do something and fast i think to loose or get in front of user eyes all bad behavior LIRs and of course all rest of us to help clients, and of course help RIPE to get back all that blocks that is use now only for sale. And if you see from a customer perspective you can see cause is too expensive sometimes to become LIR for a /22 and use only /23 or even all /22. This is not a good way.

Hi Valentin,
if you read the address policy working groups emails/ archives from the past weeks you can see I'm clearly against the ipv4 business/ market place too. We are not a LIR to make money of IP space, we do real ISP/ hosting business for several years now. We are short of IPV4 as many other LIRs are, especially those who only got a single /22. That's why we had to ask some of our customer to become LIRs themselves (just as you were, as it sounds). As they don't need the *whole* space immediately themselves, why not help them lease it to those who need it - not for astronomic prices but reasonable ones? This way the space is not wasted and no ones ripped off - in contrast to the behaviour of many old LIRs with space of /19, /18 up to /8 just laying around for years and just waiting for better prices.
Sorry again and I hope you got the point.
Best, Corin
