[address-policy-wg] 2016-03 New Version and Impact Analysis Published (Locking Down the Final /8 Policy)

Hi Sander,

I understand your point, but this already happened with other RIRs and they
have no "cheap" pool to fulfil new requests, what happened them and to the
prices in their region? Do we have many intra-RIR transfers from RIPE region
to other RIRs today? 

Luckily we still have an /8 in RIPE (and thanks to the old community members
for that), but 2016-03 cannot make that much change on draining rate. And I
don't think that the pool is that much drained by traders. Yes there is a
percentage drained by traders, but comparing to the actual users that's not
that much to put this kind of restriction. (We also have enough other
restrictions in place)

Regards,

Arash Naderpour

I'm sorry, but it's doing the opposite: it will make sure that the remaining
pool is not drained by traders, keeping it available for longer for new
companies that need them. If the "cheap" pool for newcomers runs out and
address transfers become the *only* source for addresses, guess what will
happen to the prices.

Cheers,
