I agree with it. We need IPs to continue providing VPS servers, and other LIRs with unused prefixes, no sense... On 11/02/2016 15:09, Aleksey Bulgakov wrote:
Hi, all.
I think, it is better to return unused allocations, received before 2012, to the NCC pool.

Dear colleagues,
The RIPE NCC Executive Board would like to ask the membership to discuss the issue of RIPE NCC members opening additional LIR accounts.
There were comments at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) in November 2015 that members having the ability to open additional LIR accounts, each of which can request a /22 of IPv4 address space, may run against the spirit of the last /8 policy. In light of this, the Board decided to temporarily suspend the ability of RIPE NCC members to open additional LIR accounts.
The RIPE NCC began to allocate IPv4 address space from the last /8 policy on 14 September 2012. Since that time the RIPE NCC has allocated more than 8,600 /22s, yet there remains 0.94 of a /8 still in the pool.
ACTION REQUIRED: The Board asks the membership to provide their opinion on and discuss the following points:
1. Is the activity of members opening additional LIR accounts a problem that must be prevented?
2. If this activity is a problem that must be prevented, what action should the RIPE NCC take to attempt its prevention?
Statistics pertinent to this discussion are available in this article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/laura_cobley/ripe-ncc-members-and-multiple-lir-accounts?pk_campaign=members&pk_kwd=list-ncc
The Board asks that members discuss this issue on the Members Discuss mailing list .
The Board will monitor the discussion and will review it at the next Executive Board Meeting on 31 March 2016. Depending on the outcome of that meeting, the Board may propose a resolution for members to vote on at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2016.
Best regards,
Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board
