[arin-ppml] About needs basis in 8.3 transfers

[Bill Darte]

Hi Bill,
We consider ARIN policy to be at fault and are seeking community consensus
to change that policy, Do you have a problem with that approach?

----Of course you do and did I not grant in my post that this back and
forth WAS the policy development process engaged? I have supported that
process for many years and believe it IS the way things must be done.  And,
I understand that you are seeking community consensus in that
discussion....I just note that there seems to be little support to change
the policy in the ARIN region.


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.

Bill, nobody is *giving* addresses to anybody, regardless of their NEEDS,
so you can disabuse yourself of that pie-eyed notion. And what is flaming
the status quo? Way to encourage participation. I suppose it’s better to
leave the community in their repose of silent focus.

--- you are correct, nobody gives addresses away.  Needs-based allocation
or transfer, I submit is likely to cost those receiving addresses less
overall. Still, there is a financial burden either way. 'Repose of silent
focus'.  I daresay that the community has been quite vocal in their
creation and support of the status quo.  And as far as participation goes,
I only wish that every constituent with the ARIN community would come out
and have their say..one time...about this issue whichever way they choose.
See, I'm for consensus either way because I do believe in the process.

Let’s cut out the stewardship failed nonsense, you are accusing both RIPE
and APNIC communities of failed stewardship because their opinion doesn’t
match your personal one.

--- notice that my comment was not about 'failed stewardship', but the lack
thereof on ARIN's part....my belief that needs-based allocations are proper
stewardship for ARIN in no way disparages the RIPE and APNIC communities
for their policies.  There are 5 RIRs so that the local community can
decide for themselves what policies should exist in their respective
communities.  So please don't attribute those accusations to me.  As I said
above, I have my opinion, but it is the consensus of the community that
counts.  I'd hope that everyone feels the same.
