Hi,

although I understand the spirit of this policy in my opinion there's a big problem behind it: seems that has been thought for reasoucers not in use.
I really don't get how a space can be de-registered once announced and in use and after have been allocated under regular procedures and business processes.

A new entrant would see his investments vanified by a rule that make possibile transferts possbile only for old LIRs that acquired space before 09/2012.
I think this really creates barrier to ingress in the market.

If a return policy has to be proposed this should address the whole IPv4 RIPE Region space to be fair and catch where IPs are stockpiled and not in use.
Anyway we all know that's quite impossible.

To address the problem of abuse RIPE NCC should enforce audit and check if the LIR "make assignement(s)" as stated in the policy.
This could be a way to get rid of buy/sell just for speculation.

I cannot support this policy

regards
Riccardo
