Hello,

I support the proposal. The /22 policy was made so that new LIRs can
implement transition methods from IPv4 to IPv6. If the LIR merges or
is acquired they can keep the space. If they stop business they don't
need the transition methods any more because *they're no longer in
business*.

I'm aware that this is not an ideal solution but I think it will make
it more difficult to game the system for profit. I'm saying this fully
aware that I and others would have a lot less headaches if we would
just remove the limits of the last /8 policy and let everything go
down in flames.

Our LIR has enough address space left but right now I still have it in
me to try making sure that new LIRs get some address space that is
useful for them to provide services. NOT for some shadow LIRs that
just want to make profit from the space. If you're doing this you get
no sympathy from me.

Regards

Sebastian
