[address-policy-wg] Next steps for new LIRs

Greetings!

Everybody should remember that market begins when some luck of resources
take place. Everybody want to force world to move to Ipv6 and forget
about the problems. But until IPv4 exists and it's possible to use
it/get it/buy it - and it's easier then to start Ipv6  - people will use
IPv4.

If we will make harder to get IPv4 - the market will grow. But people
who discuss here - they don't want this market. So logicaly they need to
allow people use IPv4 and get them easy, but not harder.

Let's say give new LIR /21 (2048IP). It will be more then enough for
several years. And I will tell why. Becouse it will drop the market
price low and stop some speculations. And a lot of people will start
selling resources that they don't need. And people who need IPs - they
will be able to get enough from RIPE in standard way. There is no
secrets here. Everything is clear. If more people work in this clear and
fair way - the more people will offer own IPs for others.

There will be no luck of IPs. Just more redistribution.

What do community thinks?

Yuri
