Hello,
we all know why there are a lot of new LIR's.
Maybe in favor of both (old with legacy, and new ones) members could
agree on this scheme:
Old LIR's and/or those with legacy IPv4 blocks paying the same
amount of money as new LIR's - the current billing scheme,
but if RIPE NCC recover some IPv4 pools or gets recovered from
IANA, they can allocate for LIR's that have only /22 new /22, or /23
(depending on resources avail).
Using FIFO model, oldest LIR's with only 1 /22 will get second
allocation. Rules could be also that for example, you can't get
second assignment in first 2 years when you get first one.
If LIR's who has only /22 and never used transfer services, i.e.
they have only this allocation of IPv4 they are eligible for second
/22 or /23, maybe even /24.
If LIR who has /22 and bought/transferred IPv4 - are not eligible.
The rule is simple: if you can afford transfer (we now that is
buying procedure anyway) - you are not allowed for new allocation.
It's just draft, but maybe something could be made on this model?
Because now a lot of people registering (2nd, 3rd, etc) LIR's for
only one goal - after two years to make a transfer to parent LIR. In
such a case - if you know, that even maybe you have a chance
to get IPv4 allocation after 2 years - it may worth waiting and not
spending money, abusing RIPE NCC with paper work on LIR's
registration, etc.

RIPE NCC is currently the only RIR that is not
charging differentiated fees depending on LIR size.
We all know that IPv4 addresses are shared resources and that we
are running out of available resources.
