Unfortunately this issue spans both policy and membership, as it's the limitations on the IPv4 space that is the trigger for the multiple LIR discussion.
The issues can't be accurately discussed as distinct parts, they are co-dependant.

Hi

I think one thing need to be clarified here, if I am not mistaken, Gert and Sander should confirm this as well, how many LIR can a single entity open is an member issue, how many IP each LIR get, should LIR return address, should v4 allocation request to have v6 in place first etc, is an policy issue need to be discussed in policy mailing list.

That's not viable yet, have you seen how fragmented th v6 table is, even Tier 1 ISPs have gaps.

I would argue that we just reduce the allocation for additional LIRs. That is if a single legal entity (or it's subsidiaries) register a new LIR, then the new LIR registered can only receive a /24 not a /22.

This way no one would act in bad faith trying to skirt the rules, and young ISPs still have the ability to grow without feeling significantly choked.

2. If this activity is a problem that must be prevented, what action
should the RIPE NCC take to attempt its prevention?
Do not allow additional LIR accounts for a member.
I would concur.

One legal entity, one LIR. This should be easy for RIPE to implement, given
that they require evidence of company registration or equivalent when
establishing an LIR.
Even if it is possible to open more legal entities in the RIPE region, when requiring an exclusive contact person it makes it not any harder for really new members, but harder for self cloning of members.

It might even be needed, to require the new contact person to complete the RIPE course, to slow down abusive behavior.
The use of a simple nominee is therefor more difficult than without the course requirement.

just my two cents
