[arin-discuss] Food for thought: IPv4 accountability.

[Breault Jonathan]

Basically, I think the problem is that once you hold a resource from arin,
you only need to justify when you request new resources... I think there is
missing a policy that would allow ARIN to ask every 3-5 years for
justification on the resources' usage and take action on the blocks that
have a too small Usage Ratio.

The question we all need to ask is, do we really want to produce
justification on regular basis?

What should we do with weak isp's?

Going after the big historical allocation might be a way to release some ip
blocks. But it can also affect people with smaller blocks ... Maybe we
should give an incentive to holders of /20 that use 2 C classes on it so
they just move to a /22 ...

Maybe somebody on the list has ideas on how something like that can be
achieved without being unfair for others...
