"Use of the registry database for policy enforcement is not supportive of
the primary reason for the existence of the registry system (there is a
reason it's called a "registry").  It is also self-defeating.  Get enough
folks doing "transfers" outside of registry database and the database is no
longer meaningful."

Yup, I suppose....and I guess it's no fault blaming those individuals who
do not heed the community's standards by going outside of policy....no,
let's consider ARIN to be at fault for responding to community consensus.

I know that what this back and forth is about....policy discussion and
development....to see whether the community has had a see change...but what
I see is that a few people who want it their way...continue to flame the
status quo for maintaining its focus...to my mind...where it still should
be.  Scare resource? Given them to people who NEED them. If the community
should be outrage about something, it should be those who contribute to the
weakness of he database, not those who's stewardship has not failed.
