That time looks to be upon us. While not explicitly allowed, nor disallowed by APNIC policy, IP address leasing is becoming a hot topic of discussion on relevant APNIC lists.
Should it be allowed? Should it be disallowed? It it were disallowed would that actually stop it?
I'm generally of the view that fiddling with IPv4 things at this point will just slow IPv6 adoption - that being the actual solution to the problem. I don't think you'll reasonably stop people ignoring RIR policies and doing whatever BGP and other operators will let them get away with. The time spent discussing policy would likely be better spent working out how to firmly encourage v6 deployment :) -- Michael
