[ppml] Policy Proposal: Resource Reclamation Incentives

[Keith W. Hare]

As one of "them", I think Leo Bicknell is probably correct.  My company
would probably not make a big stink about paying a small annual fee for
our legacy IPv4 /24, as long as signing the current RSA didn't impact
our IPv4 /24.

While Owen DeLong's proposed changes to the Resource Reclamation policy
are unlikely to directly affect my company, his approach and attitude
are more likely to convince me to join the ARIN process then the "legacy
holders are evil" attitude I've seen in other messages.

Keith

The bullet Randy is talking about is:

  * Current and old allocations and their DNS will be maintained with no
    policy changes

I think we've all had it drilled into our heads enough by the ARIN
Board and Staff that "Fees are not policy", and "The RSA is not
policy."  I don't believe making them sign an RSA or pay a fee would
violate this bullet point.

This might have impact on other things, like reclaiming addresses.
