[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-165 Eliminate Needs-Based Justification

[jeffmehlenbacher at ipv4marketgroup.com]

Thank you Kevin.  The intent of our proposal is to ensure dormant supply
is freed up and companies are motivated to participate in the effective
reallocation and (re)use of IPv4 number resources.  Further, our
proposal identifies the benefits that will accrue by eliminating
needs-based justification because it will encourage more participation
and importantly, all transactions continue to flow through ARIN for
ratification.

I might also suggest the opposite outcome of what you deduce regarding
making facilitation more profitable.  If Sellers and Buyers alike are
motivated and thus choose to participate as Lister and Needer on ARIN's
Specified Transfer Listing Service, I submit Facilitators will no longer
be in demand for sourcing interested parties as said parties can contact
one another directly.  Our services may be reduced, if requested, to
transaction execution only.

[kjk] To my read this plainly says that the intent is to make transfer
facilitation more profitable. I do not believe it is within ARIN's
mission
or scope to write policy with the intent of maximizing profit within an
IP
address market. I even more strongly opposed to this proposal.
