[address-policy-wg] IPv4 waiting list policy

Such a policy would not fight the initial point of discussion that there
are single entities requesting multiple times, or using individual legal
entities. After all, Rick's IP hoarding business A BV and Rick's IP
hoarding business B BV are separate legal entities, thus in your proposal
being put in front of a single entity that has two requests under the same
legal entity. Such policy, I think, would only push for incorporating
multiple entities for the sole purpose of pushing ahead in the queue. (e.g.
just look at "Network Space Provider <no.> LTD" in the British company
register). All are/were held by a single UBO.

Perhaps it would make sense to record UBOs (ultimate beneficial owners),
and categorize the waiting list based on the amount of IPs a UBO has
already received, plus limit the amount of memberships unique UBOs can open
(albeit: open, with a restriction of being unable to request scarce
resources). This should include pre-2012 allocations, given we're at the
last stretch. and it would be weird to hand someone holding a /21 a 'final
/24' when others are in a more urgent need of holding any IPs.

Of course, any new policy should only be put into effect for newly made
allocations, without any retrospective effects.

Regards,
Rick
