Well said.

Look at the other RIRs who cannot offer any IPv4 space to new members. 
The market is more or less fixed. New ISPs cannot easily develop new 
business models and innovate. But we in RIPE region can, because of the 
strict policy. Let`s keep it.

We have talked about IPv6 so many times, there is no way to speed up 
IPv6 deployment by writing a policy. IPv6 will come, see the growth 
rates in several coutries. Apple is demanding it for the software, this 
will help. There are many companies moving to IPv6. And many enterprises 
become LIR to get IPv6 space. They want to become independant from their 
providers, never want to renumber again and see, that the Internet is  
important for their business and they take back control. Getting IPv4 
space is sometimes just an addon (a very nice one, I admit).

I oppose 2015-05 and want to stick with the current policy of not 
burning down the RIPE NCC IPv4 pool for short term profit. Welcome new 
players on the market with an IPv4 address block as long as possible.
