[members-discuss] Sign-up fee for additional LIR account

It should be considered for the good of the internet and big LIRs who are hoarding should stop and focus on IPv6. RIPE should change policy and force returns.

If anyone argues they are unable to provide such data as a network they are simply being dishonest. Without this sort of data how do you mitigate DDoS for example.

    Spot on. Is there such a voting system in place with ripe with enough votes to change the policy to something like you have said below?
    
    This no doubt will upset some of the LR's who do have /19 /20 /16 doing nothing with them.

    You have picked one point out of a longer email but I do acknowledge that but to retort a lot of people got MORE than they needed at the time and the two probably balance out. It really comes down to bad controls early on and LIRs being penalised for it now. Some onus should be put on to RIPE to sort out the mess from the past that would go some way to sorting the issue out.
    
    There is I’m sure a way using all of the many tools we have available be able to prove to RIPE what ips are being used. Something like Netflow data would show the percentage of IPs in use across an allocation and upon proof of exhaustion at the local level be entitled to more. Additionally then people hording should be made to return their IP’s until they need them.

        What would you say today if we had no "final /8 rule" today, and all
        IPv4 space would have been used up 5 years ago?
        
        In other words: you would not even get a /22 today, if the policy were
        not as restrictive as it is.
        
        (I find it amazing how loud folks complain about "we cannot get enough!"
        that only are able to get anything at all because all *others* got less
        than they wanted, earlier in the game)
