[arin-ppml] About needs basis in 8.3 transfers

[CJ Aronson]

Elvis..

ARIN has had 8.3 transfers since 2009.  We long ago accepted that there
would be a market for IP addresses.  I believe ARIN was the first RIR to
have such a policy.  The link to the archive is here
https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2009_1.html

Soon after we worked on the listing service as well.   This policy has been
used and I am sure the ARIN staff has numbers of how many such transfers
have taken place.

Just because this region has historically been in favor of justified need
doesn't mean that folks haven't accepted that there would be a market.

Thanks!
