[arin-ppml] Draft policy ARIN-2013-1 Section 8.4 Inter-RIR transfers of ASNs

[David Farmer]

Ok, explain to me how it huts the community if I have an extra ASN and 
justified need for IP addresses and my friend has justified need for an 
ASN and extra IP addresses, and we want to trade.  This sound like a 
match made in heaven, as contrived as it is.  But, as I described it no 
money changes hands and resources get used more efficiently, sounds like 
good stewardship to me.  But you seem to want to stand in the way of it. 
  Because unless the two transactions are atomic and linked the first 
will go through and the second will be blocked by the language you support.

As long as justified operational need is being fulfilled, why do we the 
community need to stick our nose in things.  There our those that 
believe maintaining justified operational need, is sticking the 
community's nose to for into things already.

I support the prohibition from being the source of resources after 
having and received resources (of the same type) within the last 12 
months to discourage gaming the operational need requirement.  But, your 
operational need for one type of resources has nothing with your 
operational need for other types of resources.

If someone received an IPv6 allocation, successfully deployed it, and 
then was somehow able to reduce their need for IPv4; your interpretation 
would prevent them from transferring their no longer needed IPv4 
resources to someone else.

Owen, your wrong.
