I am troubled by the new members joining RIPE purely to obtain IPv4 address space.
Perhaps (shields up!) RIPE could simply offer /22 for purchase at the same price as membership (???3,400 i.e. joining fee + 1 year subs) to anyone who wants one since they can get one anyway by joining.
It would save the admin overheads and would identify members as those actually committed to performing as LIRs.
Great idea ! I would actually like to have NCC's opinion on that one. For now, I have the impression that the administrative overhead is just a pretext to be able to say "nonono, we DO NOT sell IPv4 addresses".
This is a horrible idea, tbh. The RIPE NCC is a *membership* organization, so "sell off stuff" is totally not in line with the NCC's mission of providing numbers to members.
