Maybe we need to prevent LIR's from moving more than one band per year, and then maybe permit changes only subject to a majority member vote? Reasons for changing would have to be submitted and published in the directory. LIR's who may be a bit "economical", shall we say, would do damage to their reputation if their vote was rejected. whatever we do, the NCC is going to have to act as final arbiter

But first of course we have to agree that banding is acceptable before we can discuss the mechanisms, and as you've seen, the familiar arguments are back out. The 3(or 4? 5?)-band system broken by allocation size alone, will hopefully win that argument.


Kind regards
