2007-08 Review Period extended until 9 July 2008 (Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)
We do not support the 2007-8 proposal! We have a clear policy that obligates LIRs to give back unused address blocks to RIPE-NCC. This is a clear procedure. If we open a kind of address-market we establish some more abuse possibilities. All in all we endore Per´s statement given below on June 11th.

Do we? I have seen that claim a couple of times now, but I would like to see it backed by actual references. The policy says that if the criteria for an allocation are no longer valid, the allocation is no longer valid - but that does not apply to blocks that are only partially used, while the original criteria ("we have customers, we plan to give them addresses") are still met. A block might be filled to 90%, which means "all allocation criteria are met", and if that block is big enough (like a DTAG /10), the remaining 10% are a fairly big number of addresses.
