Hi all,

Lots of criteria have been suggested so far.

Except that of ressource misuse and policy transgression.

Making some exploration in the database I often meet so obvious cases
of abusive /16 or some big LIRs that can waste thousands of IPs since
these have a zero cost for them.

I'm not sure this could (or even should) have an effect of members fees
in normal conditions, but it defenitely shoud have a consequence on the
fees of LIRs that waste the public ressources.

It does not take long to find some of these abuse cases, since there are
very obviously suspect situations like tertiary companies having huge
public networks... what for !?

Therefore I suggest a campaign for revisiting big assignments and having
LIRs to make a little bit of introspection. All less specific than /24
assigned to non ISPs or IP service providers could be looked a as suspect
as a rule of thumb.

After a "make you own cleanup" period there could some regulation about
the last requested allocations regarding to what had been done previously,
and eventually some financial adjustment.
