[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Open House: Recording and Slides Available

Returns to the RIPE pool are unlikely to happen. IPv4 addresses are in 
short supply. There is always a buyer. From the point of view of the 
resource holder, it is better to monetize held addresses than to return 
them without any further benefit...

There is no point in lying that the per-resource model will make IPv4 
accessible to other (new) members. It will not happen.

And it's not worth trying to solve it somehow. It's dead-horse ride.
