Before someone says "oh but you opposed other policy that removed needs 
based requests": I still oppose removing needs-based requirements on 
requests to ARIN from ARIN's free pool. I do support allowing a one time 
or once every 2 years needs-free *transfer* up to /16-18 for reasons 
already stated.
