[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [news] RIPE NCC Members and Multiple LIR Accounts

This is not right way. What should to do if ipv4 resources in company exhausted? Stopp business?
There are different ways, but the cheaper on my opinion - create new legal entity, open new LIR on this entity, receive /22 and merge companies and LIR. 

I basically will not work with the profiteers, and to buy their ipv4 resources. Ideal scheme form me: one legal entity - one LIR. And I think that RIPE NCC should give for new LIR more than /22, e.x. /21 or better /20. 
First, they will distribute the remains ipv4 addresses. No ipv4 resources - no problems for RIPE NCC. 
Secondly, if you sell ipv4 resources, so you do not need resources and you should return resource to RIPE NCC.
Thirdly, in nearest future we will have problem with full routing table, and not all members support idea for upgrade border routers. Because someone has divided its blocks at /24 and announce in world. We should discuss about policy with prohibition annonce /23-/32 in routing table. If you want announce /24 locally in yours region, please announce, but in the rest world we should see you via aggregated route by your upstream.

Not a problem if new legal entity.

>should the RIPE NCC take to attempt its prevention?
Give more address space - /20, struggle with speculators, policy with minimum allocation in the world table.
