[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2009-1: Transfer Policy - Revised andforwarded to the Board

[Dave Feuer]

Looking back on some old IP assignments that were allocated to us and others
I have dealt with by providers over the years I can say that there are a lot
of old blocks not being reallocated to other customers. Some of these have
not been active in over 6 years. And this is not for just a /29 or
something. We are talking multiple /24 and better.

I believe the proof of what I am talking about is all of the unused IPv4
space that is not being returned so that it can be held as a speculative
commodity.  Inaction in itself is a proof.

I must say I feel better now.  For a while there Ted and I were agreeing on
most issues.  It had me concerned.  (Light hearted levity Ted, don't take it
serious  ;)  )
