I'll describe the policy situation in RIPE because it's more nuanced than your statement allows for. New LIRs cannot get more than a /24 of IPv4 but the policy does not require needs evaluation: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-826/#51-allocations-made-by-the-ripe-ncc-to-lirs New LIRs can get between a /32 and a /29 of IPv6 just by asking but more requires a needs evaluation and leasing is not called out as a valid need: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-738/#51-initial-allocation Those with existing address space can register temporary transfers, which some people call leases: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-807/#2-1-transfer-requirements The RIPE NCC reported on what it has termed IPv6 "renting" in May (slide 8) and has augmented its processes based on community feedback without a need for policy changes: https://ripe88.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/73-RIPE88-Feeback-from-RS-final_bd.pdf https://ripe88.ripe.net/archives/steno/27/ I'm not taking a position on this policy proposal. I just wanted to describe the situation in RIPE.
