So you agree my initial reply that actually the change does not go far enough, it'd be better to completely prohibited selling IP (v4) and instead enforce withdrawing of not announced IP-Space aand returning it into the pool?
That way I am pretty sure we could quickly loosen the current /8 policy and return to a policy allowing requests of more then one /22 if need is shown .... and need may NOT be selling, but that'd be forbidden anyway then ;)
While some people agree with the concept, I'm not sure that the community in its whole (or majority) will agree with rolling-back several years of (already-established) policies. This definitely needs more discussion (maybe during a meeting): - restore needs-based allocation (which has been "abolished" in order to legitimate already widespread but not really appreciated practice- lying about "needs" and "use") - soften the "last /8" policy - between 2010 and now the situation changed, and things will change even more in the upcoming years. Not to mention that now we have some real-life experience.
