Hi Jim, More hand-waving about spam and fraud that doesn't exist and ignoring the obvious need that does exist. A market has arisen to meet the need, that proves the need exists. A google search confirms this for everybody. But the environment you exists and has not generated spam and fraud. This is why I point to RIPE. They have what you refer to as "policy facilitating enties being able to obtain from (the RIR) permanent allocations made to support temporary use for non-connected networks." You say this will create an inviting environment for more of the spooky consequences I have heard about for almost 10 years now. Spooky consequences absent from RIPE. Or can you find them there? Can it be more clear? RIPE has had NO NEEDS TEST FOR YEARS. We have performed the experiment, why ignore the results? If I want to become a Lessor, yet another reason to incorporate in Europe, I guess. There is no restriction in RIPE in the purchasing of addresses for the purpose of leasing them out, nor for the leasing part. A recipe for registry-shopping and address-flight.
