[arin-ppml] A Redefinition of IPv4 Need post ARIN run-out(was:Re:Against 2013-4)

[Brian Jones]

Hi Mike,

I suppose it is just my old school thinking that you should be at least
"this tall" to ride the ride. Given your explanations below I could relax
my requirements for demonstrating technical support need for transfers. I
actually didn't realize we were only considering transfers and not the
remaining free blocks, so thank you for clarifying that.

It still seems that inefficient use of address space could occur when a
bidder buys much larger blocks than needed due to the lack of any
structured needs requirements. At a minimum a block of addresses could sit
idle and unused while needs exists elsewhere. But really IPv6 should be the
best solution for those needing addresses moving forward any way... :)

at a point where the highest bidder will get the addresses, irrespective of
what his justified need for the addresses is, just that he has met the RIR
need test.

requiring the needs test for transfers which are already priced is to
prevent a buyer without needs from damaging the market through hoarding or
cornering. I understand that many people simply do not like the idea that
address blocks can be bought and sold, and that money has any influence on
who gets addresses, but we are beyond that now.

going to work, post-ARIN free pool.  Yes, I know eliminating need
alltogether eliminates that problem, but I'm not sure I can get myself all
the way there.  I'd like to see some minimal technical criteria that
entitles someone to be able to buy up to between a /16 and a /12 and more
than just that they have the money to do so.  Maybe its just as simple as
demonstrating efficient use of at least a /24.  If you can't do that then
you can only buy a /24, then you utilize it and you qualify for bigger
blocks. "

agree wth the part about the need for "...minimal technical criteria that
