[ncc-services-wg] Policy proposal for services to legacy Internet resource holders

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Just my 2ct: not any University or worse religous campaign should
block a /8 or /16 without having to state HERE&NOW why and for what
they really need&use it.
They need exactly 1 IP for every 65536 concurrently active student to
NAT and 1 for each public service at most, lets put a /22 for infra on
top and then we're fine..

We have to do either I guess, at least we do, according to
RIPE-policys. So we're playing with different cards here, legacy
holders are being asked "what might be a nice proposal they like", I'm
not asked what "might be nice for me"

Regardless of legal stuff it's IMHO easy, it's basically just
unassigned space, its getting routed or -well then- not.. AFAIK
there's no global law on which IP's I have to route as ISP..

I don't see any "right" just on the fact address-assignment was done
very different and generous 20yrs ago. It was a nice time being able
to assign any fridge on the campus an IPv4 but its just over now.
Times are changing, legacy resource-holders have to accept that.

Done worldwide this would fully obsolete the whole IPv4 address-space
discussion for many, many years!
IMHO the problem isnt that we dont have enough IPv4 addresses but that
thei're unequally distributed and - worse- most of them useless wasted
in small networks that claim to be big like universitys just because
they "have" them..

In other words, regarding the threads' context:
Might sound hard but IMHO legacy resource holders should be given
facts they have to agree with or leave (BGP), not nice proposals with
"opt-in" wether they want to and "hmm lets talk about a little".
