Hi, I'm not sure what you mean from dummy-LIRs but I think you mean the ones that just set up to get a single /22 to transfer it, am I right? If yes, It cannot keep "dummy-LIRs" from being set up, it just make it less attractive.
But My argument was not about "dummy-LIRs set up", I'm talking about the LIRs that are not new and are already registered years ago, (before RIPE NCC starts distribution of last /8, before 2012) now if they apply to receive their last /22 why they have to wait for 2 years to be able to transfer them to others. (that makes IP distribution more difficult) It was not mandatory to receive last /22 and they are plenty of LIRs that are still using their existing allocations without getting their last /22. Not every olds LIR received its /22 till now and this 2015-01 can affect them too. Is it something supposed to be happened? I oppose this proposal because it has unnecessary effect on some of the genuine LIRs too.

Actually, it aids it, as it keeps existing LIRs from going around and grabbing the available IP spaces and thereby keeping new entries from getting any ... please look at the ARIN region - they are down to ~140 /22 (fragmented into /23 and /24), which is still dropping quickly ... in contrast, RIPE's policies habe helped to still have a pool that might still last ~5 years ... -garry
