Hi Scott, One critically important part of setting a regulation is enforceability. If it's impractical to enforce a rule you're better off not having it. Instead, rework the rule to the closest thing you can enforce without creating an arbitrary and unfair rule. And if there isn't a sensible rule to be written, then don't. A prohibition on leasing addresses is not enforceable. The LIR can simply provide a low-data rate transit service along with the addresses, fully understanding that it won't be used because the customer has acquired other transit. The expense to the LIR is as close to zero as makes no difference. Try to restrict that to "primary" network service and you end up with a nasty mess where ordinary users aren't free to use second and third ISPs for fear of fouling the address contract. It just doesn't work out. Yes, this means that when you write the rule you have to think like the people who intend to break it and figure out how they're going to get around it.
