[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-171 Section 8.4 Modifications: ASN and legacy resources

[Lindsey, Marc]

John,

Yes, I understand that’s ARIN’s policy position.   I believe, however, that Prof. Mueller’s recent PPML post on the issue should be given considerable weight when deciding whether/when to use sticks vs. carrots to develop policies directed at off-contract legacy number holders.

The policy proposal addresses many of the current “tensions” arising out of the legacy resource trading market.  It recognizes, in policy, the practical reality that attempting to extend ARIN’s existing policies designed for numbers under contract with ARIN (where ARIN has direct control) to legacy numbers that are not under contract with ARIN (where ARIN has no direct control) has its limits and is currently producing (possibly) unintended consequences that I believe are undesirable for the community.

Marc -

   This is a mischaracterization, as the policies developed by the community have always applied to all resources in the region.   They are not "being extended " to some new class of resources; we have been applying them since inception, and LRSA contractual status has been to provide assurances to the legacy holder, not ARIN.
