Should it be allowed?

Should it be disallowed?

It it were disallowed would that actually stop it?

There's no way to stop it.

What mechanisms need to be in place to keep it sane? �A 'whowas' server for eg

Not at all, the responsibility for what happens with the space is entirely with the lessor. There's no reason for the public to ever know who a lessee is.

�

Should someone be able to be allocated addresses under a needs based policy just so they can make money leasing them?

Yes, because needs based policies have not discriminated against use cases in the past.

�

Does leasing addresses mean that you no longer need them? �Should you be required to return the ?

No, and AFAIK no one has been required to return space yet. But that's just my understanding. Do update me if I'm out of date.

These and many more issues are questions I'd like you all to give me feed back on.

This topic will come up in APRICOT 2014 in Thailand. �I'd like to know a lot more about what you all think about it before I take the mic.

I already lease IP address space at $0.03/hour per address. That space happens to come with a virtual machine attached to it, but I needed that anyway.
