If there are no new entrants on the waiting list, the RIPE NCC should
just hold on to any address space it has until there is another new
entrant. I agree with Randy. The RIPE NCC should not give freely any
address space to any organisation that already holds address space in
ANY of it's many LIRs. If a company that already holds address space
wants more they can buy it on the open market.

To avoid new startup shell companies cheating the system, maybe we
should go back to the needs based assessment for new startups.
