thank you jeff. it seems that you have misunderstood the current
policies, which allow everything you describe, so long as the needer can
demonstrate that need to ARIN. there is a place in the "transfer listing
service" for brokers, too. i'm at a loss to understand what it about the
current transfer policies that won't fit the model you're describing above.
