[address-policy-wg] Use of the Reserved IP Pool

Hi Daniel,

Being an LIR or not and the size of the company (if any) doesn't matter here. All discussions here are between persons, not between companies or their employees. So far you have shown that new LIRs are short on IPv4 space. Well known fact :)  You haven't shown how we can make that less painful without endangering the long-term stability.

>> As you still seem to be determined, you are free to create a proposal
>> like "any LIR which reaches five stars and has only one single /22
>> will get one additional /x", but I expect it to not come to fruition.
> 
> Why not? Are you selling IP Space so you dont want that policy going up? Or you just have enough IP space so dont really care about the rest of the LIRs?

Please don't start insulting people that offer you honest advice, even if you don't want to hear it. If you want to change anything then you really are free to submit a policy proposal, but be prepared to explain/defend your proposal to those on this list that don't agree with you without insulting people or calling other peoples opinions ridiculous.

As I have asked you some time ago: when thinking about a policy proposal about these last IPv4 addresses you have to think about all the aspects: future developments, fairness, scalability, routing table size etc. Do the math. Ask people who are experienced in this field and be willing to learn and see things from different points of view. Policy making is hard and just stating that the current policy is ridiculous and that small LIRs should just get more address space is not going to get you consensus.

Cheers,
Sander
