[address-policy-wg] Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations

Hi,

actually I do not understand why the price raises with this. It actually
only prevents the currently more or less legal way to bypass the "last
/8"-policy by setting up a bunch of LIRs which actually only have the
single purpose to drop IPv4 into pool.

I'd even prefer to go one step further and propose to extend the policy to:

"A /22 allocation, which had been assigned under the last /8-Policy may
only be transfered, when it has been in use for at least 24 month.
Allocations which have not been used need to be returned to RIPE NCC to
be readded to the pool."

You know, same rules for everyone, else LIRs from countries where it is
pretty easy and cheap to set up legal entities would have a big
advantage over the ones located in countries where it's much more
complicated and expensive.

Acutally trading IPs as whole should not be accepted ... and to run the
business fair for every LIR, it would actually be necessary to validate
usage of IP-Space regualary and enforce returning unused blocks. Before
last /8 you needed to jutify your need, but many LIRs faked their
justifications and now can make profit out of their cheating.

IMHO the only reason for a Resource-Transfer is a LIR-Merger, where the
IP-Space is in use and the customers the IP-Space is assigned are also
taken over bei the new LIR. Everything else is against the principles of
equality between LIRs, as it is e.g. presented as the reason for why
LIRs with /11 IPv4 pay the same as ones with only a single /22.

Kind regards
Jens
