OVERVIEW: Aims to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months. This would only be possible if the LIR has not transferred any IPv4 address space before.
I support this measure. For us it is a big problem not to request more / 22, we are an ISP, and it does not seem fair to have to buy to get / 22 when others have to spare. I strongly oppose this measure.
Well said, Jim. FWIW, I'm agreeing fully with what you say here. The current "last /8" policy is working the way it should. As much as I sympathize with the LIRs that are suffering under the restrictions of the last/8 policy (one of our customers just opened an LIR in order to get their own /22 ... which is NOT enough to supply all of their business customers, let alone the home users, with unique IPv4 addresses), I do also have to oppose the proposition. What I could maybe live with would be if the additional addresses would be available from a pool of returned IPv4 addresses only, and only to those with available space smaller than /X (like, e.g. /20 or /19)
