[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2012-6: Revising Section 4.4 C/I Reserved Pool Size

[Scott Leibrand]

What about encouraging TLD operators to acquire /24s on the transfer market? Is there a reason we should be subsidizing them relative to other legitimate uses of IPv4 space?

Not necessarily opposed to the proposal, but not sure this aspect has been discussed enough.
