[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Transfer Fees Now Open

[David R Huberman]

John,

Two comments:

1) Would the proposed change -- moving transfer fees to the beginning of 
the process -- assist ARIN staff in stemming significant amount of 
possibly fradulent transfer requests?

2) Instead of assuming the source entity is going to be invoiced, please 
understand that in a 8.3 transfer, there are often 4 parties (source, 
recipient, broker, ARIN), and in a 8.4 transfer, there are at least 5 
parties.  Can ARIN please *ask* the submitter of the transfer request to 
identify the party who will pay the transfer fee, and create an invoice 
accordingly?

Thank you,
David
