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.

Subject: Re: [members-discuss] Mass emailing towards LIRs contacts, from a Board candidate

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?

Bill
