[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2012-5: Removal of Renumbering Requirement for Small Multihomers

[Owen DeLong]

There's been a lot of discussion here about this between Seth
and I. How do others feel about putting in a restriction that subsequent
non-renumbered requests wait one-year after submitting the prior
request?

Generally, I oppose the idea of a waiting period as an unnecessary
inconvenience both to the requestor and to staff which provides little,
if any benefit to the community. However, if that will help us move the
policy proposal forward with greater consensus, then I would consider
it an acceptable tradeoff. I would like to hear more from the community
about whether such a modification to this proposal would increase or
decrease your willingness to support it.
