[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-18: Simplifying Minimum Allocations and Assignments

[Mike Burns]

I support the proposal. How else are we going to get rid of the more than 
1,000 /24s left as the dregs of decades of allocations?
It will take a long time to dole out one /24 every three months to each 
needy applicant, do we want to extend this near-exhaust environment?

Opposed, as I do not see the need to justify 200 addresses as enough
of a burden to outweigh the benefits of not giving out /24s like candy
to those who cannot when coupled with the likely to be implemented
minimum /24 size allocation to an ORG.

The laws of physics cause this to be needed, due to current technology
used to preform the basic functions of the internet. This would not be
good stewardship of the resource as this is a remarkably low barrier
to entry considering the ramifications.
