Michael,

Could we see a public statement from ETNO or the majority of its members
that should an IPv4 address market emerge after RIR exhaustion, that all
ETNO members will abstain from engaging in IP address trading?

I think that a statement of this form would send a very clear message to
RIPE that an IPv4 address market of the type proposed in 2007-08 is not
supported by community consensus.
