No. I support the practice but not the principle. Use of the concept
of justified need should be pragmatic not dogmatic. Where another
practice can be shown to be more effective at achieving
sustainability, no guiding principles should dissuade us from using
it.

Bill....We've seen the effectiveness with ARIN's practice since '97, but

addresses?
