[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - January 2011

[Tony Hain]

I would never claim my projections are any more accurate than Geoff's. We
are both working from the same data set with slightly different models. As
someone put it, mine tend to be more pessimistic while Geoff's tend to be
more optimistic. I tend to believe that people don't like to be told they
have 6 months to live, then die in 3; but rather they would prefer to be
told they have 3 months that might get extended by 3. At the same time there
are those that won't accept anything except an exact answer and will
criticize inaccuracies despite any disclaimers that 'past behavior is no
guarantee of future performance'. 

All I will say is that anything projected after the first RIR runs out is
highly suspect. Given that it is likely to be APnic, and their burn rate has
been more than 2x of the rest combined, that demand will go somewhere and my
crystal ball is not clear enough for me to figure out where.
