That's one thing. The other: what's the amount of recovered space
becoming available for redistribution by the RIPE NCC within which
timeframe? I've read in some document that RIRs might receive a
tenth of IANA's recovered space every 6 months, thus the inital
waiting time for a /22 or /24 will be up to 6 months anyway? If e.
g. IANA is down to a /17, this makes a /21 for RIPE for that six
month period. I'd rather hand that /21 as two /22 to two new LIRs
instead of eight /24 to eight new LIRs, since a /24 is basically
useless anyway. Especially if you have to wait 6 or more months for
it. (Of course, /22 (in up to /24 slices) will mean a much longer
waiting time, which makes IPv6 just more interessting. Or IPv4
brokers.)<br>

<div>Though, thinking about the billing, RIPE has to (or should)
define how to do the billing based on the number of resources
... currently, billing is per resource, not sure if this will be
kept if due to availability issues this would remain (in
essence, increasing the price for LIRs that have to take
multiple /24 instead of one /22) or whether they would still
receive their initial fragmented /22 amount of IPs included as
"first resource" ...<br>

IIRC, billing discussions are out of scope for the APWG. Besides,
billing is not per resource currently, is it?<br>
