Hello! After writing my previous reply to this conversation, i had a random thought. Maybe as an alternative to complex, overreaching and probably impossible to enforce policy,... we could go the opposite route. - How many /24s can are still avalible for allocation? - How many LIR accounts are there currently? If there is avaliblity to cover it, we could just give every current LIR a /24 and instantly "remove" the "pool". Thus same chances for everyone and there is no more discussion. Weird Other thought: If we dont have enough /24's to cover, or we end with an uneven number remaining, we could do a lottery. It all just leads to where we will get eventually anyhow.

Yes, the people can try to cheat, but that's why the NCC verify documents, etc., right?
So, instead of opening a new LIR under "SpaceNet AG", I register a new UK umbrella company under the name of "My New LIR Ltd".
This one would then apply for a new RIPE membership.
How do you know it's "SpaceNet AG" trying to sneak in and get more space?
I've said that before: we've been there before - the "restrict multiple LIR accounts" approach leads to "those people that are in for the easy monay and do not care for anything else" will just register new companies with a new name for every new LIR. Nothing won, but database accuracy suffers, because you can't see the real owner anymore.
Thus, having a checkbox on the application form might actually do more good - people will still cheat, but it won't harm the registry.
