I do support the proposed idea. What I do not like is that this is presented as a PDP proposal, because in my book, this is "paying member issues / procedure", not "policy". That means: I think we do not need the PDP here, but the NCC should have gone and implemented it many moons ago already - there was sufficient interest expressed in the previous discussions. Also, I think the PDP is the wrong vehicle, because support for this should *not* require consensus. If "half the LIRs from country A" think this is a very good thing for them to have, and "all the LIRs from contry B and C" speak up against it, we clearly have no consensus - but should *still* go forward with it, due to the nature of the underlying problem, and the territories involved.

Hi, I think you have a strong point there Gert. But i'm also interested in this, as a way to receive less trash about selling/buying/transferring IPv4 address space....... :-) So i would also say "support". Cheers, Carlos On Wed, 26 Apr 2023, Gert Doering wrote:

I support the process, however I also think this should be implemented as an operational procedure, not by pdp policy. This is a similar decision of someone who likes to return resources to the NCC. It is their own decision to do, how they see fit. There is a good chance that this might not reach consensus, due to people of the opposing region/countries/reasons etc... and then what ? ... This should have been implemented by decision of the RIPE NCC, after the discussions 9 months ago imho. So support for the idea. Let's move on and get this sorted. Regards, Erik Bais

seems reasonable randy

I support introducing this service feature. I also wish we did not need to use the PDP here. But it is better to use this process than not have the feature for those LIRs that need it. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda

In support. Chriztoffer

+1 (I support the feature even if I also think that it should probably just have been an administrative action from the NCC) -Cynthia On Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 5:25 PM Leo Vegoda <leo@vegoda.org> wrote:

Hi All, This if probably out of the timeline, but i don't really understand arguments opposing the proposal. Proposals don't often solve every possible case. It's also clear to me that the benefit might be there only for some members, but if the cost to implement it is low, then i don't see a drawback. Should the proposers include the results of a poll to the membership? I also don't really understand why legacy resources are intentionally left outside the scope of this proposal. [[...potential new use case here...]] I'm also wondering if this could also prevent "ipv4 market scavengers" from harassing address space holders, that may mark their space as "non transferable"...... :-)) There isn't an impact analysis yet (maybe due to the timeline?), but if this is already in practice due to an executive board decision, i would really like to see it...

Hi,
This if probably out of the timeline, but i don't really understand arguments opposing the proposal.
Indeed, the discussion phase has ended. I sent a message to the proposers this morning asking for a decision on whether they wanted a new discussion phase or to withdraw the proposal. Of course, we won't ignore this discussion happening now. The problem is that there haven't been _any_ arguments about the proposal on the ncc-services list, either in favour of it or against it. Cheers, Rob
