Freeing up ARIN staff time to focus on more important things is also a win. 

Scott - 
 
   That is our belief - the timestamp based and group review that was appropriate
   for strict sequencing of approvals had merit when we were approaching runout,
   but at this time is a significant sink of staff resources that could be better used 
   elsewhere (transfer requests in particular)

Thanks!
