Since ipv4 will run out one way or another, the short version is that RIPE/membership has decided not to waste resources aggressively reclaiming ipv4 (and only stay certain execution a short time), but to put those towards getting ipv6 adopted. Ipv4 is left to the market (the profiteers), so buying/selling & renting/leasing space one has acquired legitimately is allowed. -- Regards, Terrence Koeman, PhD/MTh/BPsy Darkness Reigns (Holding) B.V.

Hi,
Not getting this at least but have had an email from a company that leases IP4 space, sent to the email address used for our Ripe account (not on any of our IP records).
Apparently has /22 blocks they would like to rent out, surely unused blocks should be in Ripe's hands, not profiteers?
just a thought and how they gained the email address too. Anybody else had this?

I have received multiple times (to many of the LIRs I manage contact emails), this night, an e-mail coming from a RIPE NCC Board candidate, who promotes his candidacy. Be his candidacy admissible and decent or not, is not the point. But, is that kind of mass-mailing correct ? I also got this email (have a guess whom it was from…). I believe this kind of mass-mailing is in direct violation of article 4 - section 4 of RIPE DB terms and conditions (https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/terms).
