Hello list,

I support this version of 2016-03. I think the allocations made after
entering the post-depletion phase (that could be maybe a better name
than the "last /8") should be either used for operating a network or
returned to RIPE NCC.

Since there used to be a needs-based policy for pre-depletion
allocations, stockpiling addresses for the sole purpose of selling them
in the future was not as trivial as it is now. One had to not only have
enough money but also cheat in the needs evaluation process.Now, when
the needs-based approach is gone, we need something else to conserve at
least something for new players for as long as possible.

I also like the idea of special status "ALLOCATED FINAL". I think it is
a good starting point for the AGM to adopt a charging scheme which would
require additional recurring fee for LIRs holding more than one such
allocation. This is IMHO the only way how to prevent people from opening
new LIRs as a better alternative to the IPv4 market.
