[arin-ppml] Questions about updated ARIN policy proposal 2011-1

I support the policy in its current form and believe that the RIR staffs can resolve the issues.

While I realize that the current policy statement may present some awkward or even difficult mechanisms for aligning the policies and applying them going forward, I believe that those safeguards are necessary and that this policy gives staff enough latitude to resolve the issues as they become visible.

Perhaps a later revision to the policy once we have some experience with it will allow us to relax the safeguards and smooth out any rough edges that exist in this first version. However, until such time, I believe that it is important to preserve those safeguards and I will not support removing them.

I do think this policy is important and that we do need to move it forward. I would hate to see it get bogged down in an effort to remove necessary protections.

Specifically, the 2011-1 now requires both source and recipient to comply with the policies of both of the RIRs involved, apparently requiring ARIN to apply its policies to organisations outside of the ARIN region.  I note also the enshrining of a 3-month demonstrated need policy, which happens to be part of today's ARIN policy anyway, on recipients outside of the ARIN region.

Such transfers will take place between RIRs who share compatible, needs-based policies supporting entities agreeing to the transfer and which otherwise meet both RIR's policies. Transferred resources will become part of the resource holdings of the recipient RIR unless otherwise agreed by both RIRs.
