support that.  The same changes should happen for the Arin

Popular viewpoint go far in a bottom up process such as arin. In fact, the
whole thing is a popularity contest.

public resource ARIN has always been guided by RFC 2050 which requires
recipients of these public resources to justify their need, no matter
whether these resources are coming from a central pool or a private
transfer.

Does that mean you require an update to rfc 2050 to move ?

I noticed this http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-housley-rfc2050bis-01

As it stands, speaking from experience, the justification story in v4 and
v6 drives design choices. That is an unfortunate fact and negatively
impacts system design.

Should 2050bis ask rir not do this fair  policy?  From what I read in
2050bis is that is says the rir can make their own policy and 2050 is dead.

Do you read it differently?
