[arin-ppml] ARIN Draft Policy 2014-2 Improving 8.4 Anti-Flip Language

[Scott Leibrand]

I think David is right here: the community has asked us to keep working on
this and come up with a better draft.

My own personal opinion (not speaking for anyone else) is:

1. YES, it should be perfectly acceptable for an organization to transfer
their IP space to the RIR responsible for the region in which they are
using it.

2. If an organization has received address space from the ARIN free pool
within the last 12 months, they should still be able to transfer address
space to their own subsidiaries.

Bill Herrin makes a good point: many of the ideas we've been discussing in
the context of 2014-2 are really a more general relaxation of transfer
policies, and probably should be considered separately.  However, I think
that statement (#2 above) represents something pretty close to the
consensus I heard in Chicago.  Given that it also addresses the 2014-2
problem statement, I think that might be the direction we need to be going
here.  Thoughts?
