[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 New Draft Document and Impact Analysis Published (No Need - Post-Depletion Reality Adjustment and Cleanup)

Hi all,

Unfortunately we do not support this new proposal, because conservation
still is a goal to us, as IPv4 public ressource keeps being vital for
many structures.

Deregulation + commercial transfer make the ressources governed by sole
market, which we do not agree with. We consider Ripe NCC should stay in
its regulation role and not give public ressources away to the private
sector and market.


Moreover, the rationale "supporting arguments" list doesn't convince us
at all, let me be more explicit :

1. reduced bureaucracy :

   I do not consider proper use of ressources and justification as
   just "bureaucracy" but as a necessity to take good care

2. for long-term business planning: from 2 year to infinity ?

   is this serious, we are talking about IPv4 here ?

3. Makes the policy easier to read and understand

   are we stupid or something ?

4. Removes conflict between "conservation" and "aggregation"

   this cannot be a supporting argument, one does not just suppress
   a criteria to ease the problem

5. LIR Audits becomes less time-consuming

   properly made documentation should not take time to show for LIRs,
   and Ripe does not expect time spared for itself on the other side

6. Reduction of RIPE NCC workload

   or not : see impact analysis part C, that says no workload nor
   financial benefit is to be expected in the Ripe NCC.

7. Elimination of incentive to "game the system".

   supress rules so no ones will cheat them ? this is nonsense.

8. Makes IPv4 and IPv6 policies more similar in practise

   IPv4 and IPv6 are not similar, why should policies be ?

Unfortunately counter-arguments have been provided for each "con"
arguments. I deeply regret it was not done for "pro" arguments
because many (above) do not resist a tiny bit of attention.

Eventually, it was not mentionned (despite this was discussed
previously) that the disappearance of the conservation goal could
stop the unused space collection, thus artificially accelerating
the depletion and its disastrous effects for some little structures.
