Dear Jurek,

I think you’re still missing the point that some of us are trying to make. I simply don’t think that the proposal is a good way of solving the problem (which is apparently part of a sentence in current policy). Adding a second /32 to the global routing table has just as much impact as splitting up a /32 in 2 /33s so there’s no gain there. And as indicated, filters that are set by people are outside the scope of the address policy WG, and arguably also outside the scope of RIPE policy.

Now, if you were to suppose to just take out the offending part of current policy, that would have my undying support.

Kind regards,

Remco

  Your solution, although possible, has some drawbacks:

  It adds  administrative burden, this was discussed here.
  But it also will diminish the remaining unallocated IPv4 space.

  I think we can modify your idea slightly. Let's assign
  10 'scoring units' for a second and subsequent /32 not fulfilling HD-Ratio.
  It will effectively move an LIR to a higher billing category.
  This, plus requirement of seperate routing policy may convince people
  to support the new policy.
