On application for IPv4 resources LIRs will receive IPv4 addresses according to the following:
The size of the allocation made will be exactly one /22.
The sum of all allocations made to a single LIR by the RIPE NCC after the 14th of September 2012 is limited to a maximum of 1024 IPv4 addresses (a single /22 or the equivalent thereof).
The LIR must confirm it will make assignment(s) from the allocation.
Please point me where in quoted text you see any prohibition to open and merge LIRs with /22's?
It is not prohibited, and we're not trying to achieve that - prohibiting is easy, enabling useful processes while discouraging abuse is the tricky part. The spirit of this policy should be very clear to everybody, and we're working on encouraging compliance with the spirit, not finding loopholes in the letters. In other words: we don't really care if your business model suffers if you can't fast-trade /22s anymore - it would be a welcome side effect.
