Hi Elvis & Aleksey (to avoid one extra email), As said, it is a matter of responsibility. I'm not the NCC, neither work for them. I think it is a community matter and there is a clear principle here: "justified need". I also agree that the justification can't be too strict, but there is always a right balance point. If an organization has 20 LIRs and they can *justify the need* even for a /12 for each LIR, I'm *perfectly fine* with that. What I don't think is right is that we bypass the justified need. If we want to do that, let's remove it from all the policies.

Is the ‘IPv6 stockpiling’ creating any issues? As far as I know, we have plenty of IPv6 available and by forcing return or imposing conditions on mergers/transfers you only create hurdles for the people that actually use IPv6. I’d say this is a non problem and actually advise RIPE NCC RS to stop tracking/presenting on this unless this issue causes them complications in justifying additional allocation requests from the IANA.
