Hi, So .. replying to myself :wink: Proposed solution:
You make a new lir to get a /22 ok, then you cannot sell the ip address space. If the lir is for whatever reason closed the ip address space should be requested back. Nobody will create a new lir for a /22 and pay the fees required if the address space given it`s tied to that lir, it will just be to expensive.
I would love to live in a world where this solution works. When you forbid a product which has customer (buying IP space, drugs, other) all you are doing is moving the problem to an un-regulated market where the buyer (the innocent network who NEEDS the IP space and is down the wall) is going to be abused (US prohibition / war on drugs). While I morally totally agree with the principle, I can not see how it can be applied in a way which does not create more problems than it fixes. Thomas
