Opposed to PP147,  increasing to 24 month supply for transfers.

(1) 12 months supply has been sufficient in the past - it was the long
standing standard for normal allocations.

(2) 3 months supply is the current maximum for new allocations from
ARIN;  therefore,
12 months   is already a 4x allowance, which is substantial benefit
for obtaining resources
through 8.3 transfer.

(3) IP address exhaustion means that allowing the 24-months  further
reduces the availability of  number resources
through specified transfer;  and further reduces efficient use of IP
addresses;  reducing the number of 8.3 transfers that
can occur.

(4)  Widespread IPv6 deployment should render the one benefit of
24-month extension not useful
before 12 months after its adoption; due to massive drop in demand for
IPv4 addressing.
