Maintaining allocations for long time generates far less costs than transfers.
This is a good observation. If we assume that : 1- number of LIR decreases because they were just opened to get some part of the last-/8 and now they are closing after transfer to the "parent" LIR 2- transfer cause a higher workload at RIPE Perhaps we could make the transfer more expensive than keeping the LIR open for 5/7 years (instead of the current 2 years). Obviously it will not solve the initial problem of how to keep RIPE NCC budget/services without increasing membership fee too much. It will just give us some time to come up with another solution (which may well be start to remove the fat at RIPE NCC). -- Denis Fondras / Liopen
