Hi Although this is the last call, and I have been criticizing the usefulness of this proposal in protecting the remained IPv4, I am not still logically replied. Those questions were: 1- How can we prevent transfers by accepting this proposal? We can always transfer by taking ownership of the sellers company. So this proposal would not be beneficial at all. 2- According to the 1st question, and knowing that , there are some dealers who get IP's from RIPE NCC and sell them to customers, Why wouldn’t RIPE NCC sell the IP's directly to them? (By allowing those companies to register new LIR and get new /22). 3- Obviously the internet is increasing and companies need more IP's, and there are some other IP's available in RIPE NCC, Why shouldn't we use them? The people won't think about IPv6 seriously unless they see there is no other IPv4. 4- If people are unable to transfer IP's. They will lend them. (The proposal won't help again) I would be glad to add my arguments to Sander's conclusion. -- Shahin Gharghi
