</span>PS. I also just learned (from an offline conversation, quote
below) that<br>
ARIN recently set a policy to allow the selling of IP space (paid transfers)<br>
between organizations. Does this seem counter to good stewardship in a
time<br>
of impending depletion? If I have my head on straight, this is a pretty<br>
kind act towards those same early/big assignment holders, isn't it?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>While the policy proposals in question took a tortured and

I felt that the<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>community's interests were not represented in the removal of
the sunset<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I do not believe the ARIN should adopt bad policy just
