Again:

With our without effective solutions to implement?

What matters is that effective solutions are available for implementation 
prior to the decision to change policy.  It doesn't matter what designated 
date is determined if there is no universal solution and no consideration 
is given to determine the need for one.

Do you make the policy and then determine the viability of the policy or do 
you first evaluate the viability?  That's the real underlying problem 
here.  The former occurred instead of the latter.  This policy needs to be 
put on hold until such an evaluation has occurred and ARIN members have a 
realistic time frame in which to change procedure.
