Based on the discussion of 2008-6 I would have to express my opposition
to it. 2008-2 is preferable.
I would oppose Darte's substitute because it is evident that consensus
can be reached on the more detailed provisions of 2008-2, and that the
AC has been working effectively to improve that proposal based on
suggestions.
I would also oppose 2008-6 because it is vaguely worded in key spots. To
say that ARIN is not an intermediary while requiring both buyers and
sellers to be prequalified by ARIN is just incomprehensible.
