1. Yes 2. Make it so that any /22 allocated from "the last /8" is non-transferrible if allocated after a specific date, ever.
Or just change RIPE NCC fee model so if a LIR holds multiple /22s allocated from the last /8, it is charged with a service fee for each such /22. That will allow transfers and merging, but it will discourage trading of such prefixes, because for an acquirer it would be significantly more costly to keep such prefixes and therefore prefixes from the last /8 will be sqeezed out of the market by a supply of other 'old' IP prefixes. That will discourage seculative opening of additional LIR accounts (or creating sockpuppet companies) for the purpose of selling received IP prefixes later. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
