[arin-ppml] Bootstrapping new entrants after IPv4 exhaustion

[Owen DeLong]

Frankly, I don’t think blocking off existing players from getting space they need in order to save space for possible future entrants is good policy.

I do think we need to make sure that we avoid deadly embrace in the transfer market where new players can’t even get a transfer simply because they can’t get upstream space or meet some other prior-space requirement before being able to seek out space in the transfer market.

However, I also think it is bad policy to make those policies any more liberal for transfers than they are for what is left of the ARIN free pool.

Hence, I support something like what Scott has posted, but I believe it is necessary to remove the “transfer only” clause from it.

Isn't the transfer market about enabling people who 'really want or need' v4 that opportunity.  But, I agree that having some v4 for start ups is probably still a requirement for now, so I would consider a single small block.....still, if v6 deployment is delayed longer than we hope, then the v4 for new entrants may still run out.  What do we do for those folks.....  We cannot continue to move the deck chairs to forestall the move to v6 forever....

We could also make a policy like in the other regions that gives a specific size block to everyone (or maybe just new entrants?) out of some of the last space.  If we are going to add the second option then time is really short.
