I suppose before we get into this, we should clarify

a) how large is ARIN's free pool likely to be at the time of 
implementation of any such proposal

b) What happens if the pool grows back to over /8?

Does anyone else recall when runout management proposals (before runout) 
were shouted down as deck chair arrangements.

What has changed?

Possibly that this particular policy, mediocre an effort as it was, was 
effective enough that ARIN is still afloat and deck chairs are still 
relevant?

So why do we want to change that again? So the land rush can resume its 
normal pace?

I oppose this proposal, in any shape.

I believe we should be attempting to ensure that space remains for the 
least served members, including those who dont even exist yet.

I do not believe we should be concerned with ensuring that the existing 
members can continue their consumption rate without impediment.
