This still does not obviate the fact that the effect of any peer-peer
transfer policy will be to create an artificial commodity market for IP
addresses, remove recyclable IP addresses from the fair-chase realm and will
force everyone to pay every penny the market will bear for an IP address.

Just because we could write the best policy in the world about humane ways
to kill puppies doesn't mean it is a good idea to condone killing puppies,
and I don't care if there are people out there doing it already anyway.

I oppose peer-to-peer transfer policies in their entirety no matter what the
wording.  

I know this will bring vicious flames from those wanting to make profits
trading IP addresses, but I honestly do not believe it would be good for the
community.

ARIN manages registration of netblocks already, and does a fine job of it. I
believe we can rely on them to steward that trust with the same
responsibility and good will in the future. I believe bypassing ARIN in this
manner would be a grave mistake.
