Hello Mike
I didn't say those things, you are putting words in my mouth.
What I said is that in current time things like new entrants, critical
infrastructure, and usage like the 4.10 pool should be prioritized for
various reasons and organizations under these circumstances should not
be directed to the market as their first option therefore RIRs should
not shape their policies to push people to the transfer market which is
not a natural thing and ideally should not exist. I however understand
the need of it new a days and that this should be a option for
organizations who already hold IP space.
With regards the shutdown of the waiting list by the executive board I
personally consider that a correct decision. They have detected a fraud
and risk of that happening again and it is their role to do such things
in order to protect the RIR and ourselves in order to make sure that a
few organizations needs is not on the top of everybody needs. The
favoring of small members is another correct thing as well.
With regards opening a office in Africa to get "free" addresses
fortunately the RIR doesn't allow inter-RIR transfers and according to
what have been discussed in the list so far they are not willing to
allow it anytime soon.
There is no sense to put new entrants to get space from 4.4 or 4.10 as
they are for a different and reasonable propose and pushing them to
market is exactly shaping policies to favor private business like yours
which is not the function of a RIR and this community who develop these
policies.
Things change over time and we have do adapt to new scenarios (the
policies allowing transfers intra and inter RIR is a example), but we
must never forget some principles that has always been base for correct
IP space allocations.
Regards
Fernando
