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

[Martin Hannigan]

Abandon. As David Huberman pointed out, easy to game and doesn't solve the
real problem with efficient use of resources where we need them, whether
its complying with policies like the German privacy laws or embarking upon
legal and efficient financial strategies that are in compliance with the
intended and legitimate in policy uses of resources.


I will also add, however, that completely discounting the voices of folks
that did comment in support because we don't appear to like their comments
or we decided to discount the venue is extremely negative. I consider my
opinion  here to be in the minority - hopefully influential to those who
disagreed previously. My suggestion to them is to instead support Mr.
Hubermans comments and to insist that they try again -- differently.

I still believe the geo location argument is weak, but I plan to research
that additionally and provide more feedback on that later.

Best,
