That's perfectly fine with me (except that I think exceptions should be made for organizations like SwissIX). I am merely suggesting that there are going to be problems with the fact that these fees are also going to be applied to existing assignments, and that "IP addresses are not property" may not be the opinion a judge chooses to share.
As I said before, the RIPE NCC is no legislative power.
But I guess there really is no need to debate that, it's more like a "sit back and watch" situation.
No, actually, I think you are making a perfect point, that IXP ressources maybe should be excempt. But again, this could be raised as a proposal in the address working group and then pushed through as a seperate policy or addendum to 2007-01.
