[address-policy-wg] RE: 2010-01 New Policy Proposal (Temporary Internet Number Assignment Policies)

Hi RIPE, 

Today's discussion was interesting and concern was raised about commercials being able to get all or most of the address space set aside in the proposal, and about unfair commercial advantage. My thoughts as a paragraph, which I know is rushed and woolly and only intended as a discussion point:

3.5 Use by Commercial Organizations
Temporary address space will not be assigned by the RIPE NCC to any commercial organization where such an allocation:
* Is not shown to be for a research, development or testing project relevant to an operational business of that organization
* Does not seek to provide a "benefit", e.g. through published work in academic or industrial journals, or
* Is unable to demonstrate a fair inclusion policy for other commercial organizations to contribute to, or benefit from, the project.

[Address allocation is at the RIPE NCC’s discretion, but subject to the RIPE NCC Conflict Arbitration Procedure.]

Kind regards
Jamie Stallwood
