[arin-ppml] Simple question to simplify the rhetoric..

I was asking wrt "all of the above".

So yes, with respect to pre-ARIN IPv4 depletion, post-ARIN IPv4 depletion,
free pool IPv4 address space, IPv4 transfers, IPv6 free pool.

I think what Michael was getting at is can we simply express our views on
the simple binary question.  I think you correctly point out it is not a
simple binary question.

I was attempting to rephrase the question and keep it simple and get at the
essence of the thing people keep arguing about, and come up with a laundry
list of the types of answers (A-F).

Answer A and E are essentially the same pre-ARIN depletion, but diverge
post-ARIN depletion.

In my mind, if one believes needs based is fair for ARIN allocations /
assignments, but is not fair for transfers because simple market factors
are more fair (even per-ARIN depletion) then this fell into the category F "No,
there is a better mechanism that is "more fair" we should switch to that
immediately."

Maybe that is limited thinking on my part.  I have inserted a bucket J
between E and F (because I think that is where it falls in the spectrum).


A. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have.

B. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have until something
better comes along.

C. Yes, I'm not sure this is the most fair, but it has been the rules of
the game, and doesn't seem right to change the rules so close to the finish
line (especially when people's IPv6 adoption plans are depending on it).

D. Yes, but there is a specific problem that results in some class being
treated unfairly, so a tweak or two is required.

E. Yes, but a needs test only makes sense when addresses can be acquired
unrestricted or with flat or tiered pricing or even per low priced IP
address pricing.  In a limited market, price is the most efficient and most
fair mechanism.

J. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have for ARIN
allocations and assignments because this is the most fair mechanism when
there are no market factors in place, but use only market factors for
transfer as this is more fair (but sadly can only work for transfers).

F. No, there is a better mechanism that is "more fair" we should switch to
that immediately.

G. Its not justified need isn't fair, but rather the fact that there are a
class of users whose justified need will not be fulfilled, such as
individuals (not an organization) or organizations that need only a small
amount of addressing (less than a /24 which is the arbitrary limit for
inetr-AS routing to keep tables small).

H. Unrelated... while the current needs based justification is fair, the
process is difficult and the end result favors large organizations, those
who are growing rapidly (and thus repeated ask for space), those with a
dedicated IP management team, those with a dedicated legal team...  The
process (not the policy) is unfair.

My hope was to create a bunch of useful buckets, and see where people
stand.

These are the loose buckets as I see them based on the part of the
conversation I have heard and understood.
Certainly I have missed some.
