[members-discuss] [ripe-list] New RIPE Labs Article - Building a stable future for the RIPE NCC

Sergey, I want to ask: why those who received addresses earlier and took
so many of them that they 'do not feel a shortage' and 'sell' them now,
believe that these are THEIR PERSONAL RESOURCES?

Initially, the function of RIPE and NCC was to ensure equal access to
resources for all members, and not for those who were 'the first to rush
in time'.

Let me remind you, addresses are not given out 'forever', and even more,
are not sold to LIR's or somebody. They are allocated by the RIPE NETWORK
COMMUNITY from a COMMON resource for ALL network interaction.

If there are no more resources, then the COMMUNITY must create conditions
under which NO ONE can keep them for the purpose of speculation. The
address space is initially SHARED. In the end, we can 'throw out' all such
speculators from the address space allocation (ANY ONE who offer ANY
addresses for sale in any form) and distribute their addresses among the
rest of the community. Because, according to the logic, they do not now
'rent' addresses, they receive them FOR FREE with the same fee for all!

But I personally suggest that at first we must try to resolve this issue
in a more reasonable way, by forcing those WHO USE MORE SHARED RESOURCES
TO PAY MORE. And direct these payments to solve problems with lack of
resources.
