-1 for the proposal If anything, better implement a policy which forces the (big players) to return their (huge amounts) of unused space, as briefly discussed a year ago: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2015-October/01076... https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2015-October/01075... Just start by grabbing all ips currently listed on the marketplace and shut it down ;-) BTW: How much money was and is invested in building and maintaining the marketplace?

I support this proposal.
To qualify my +1, while I do get the argument that this will not entirely stop hogging and speculation, it's at least a step in the right direction.
Even considering Ricardo's emails, I don't see a hard argument against this proposal as it's easily possible to set up the downstream LIR earlier if they anticipate the need, anyway.
To me, the pros outweigh the possible cons, and it's an overall improvement.
