[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-2: Improving 8.4 Anti-Flip Language

[Bill Darte]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your input on this issue.  We saw the same issue when adding the
clause, but did so anyway to get insight from the community.  Our reasoning
was to get feedback on (at least) two issues....
...first, the issue of organizational structure.  What if an organization
wishes to transfer to an 'existing' subsidiary....is that the same
organization?  Is it possible to allow subsidiary transfer, but bound it
with a time constraint....'existing for the past XX months or years?
...and, is this issue 'really' of concern given the late date relative to
ARIN free-pool run out?

Thanks again,
bd
