An absolute threshold ensures that those applying for ARIN resources are actually operating in the region and not simply a shell company, but it avoids the known pitfalls of trying to use percentages of the organization's overall holdings to do that."

To be clear, my past opposition to most LEA oriented suggestions has
been around policy not requiring due process. We're now talking about
a break down in the effectiveness of due process. Not quite the same
thing.

ARINs subscriber data is the problem, not policy. This proposal does
nothing to resolve that or put up sufficient barriers to fraudsters.
It hurts legitimate networks more. If you disagree, I'd like to hear
more about how you believe that it does address the issue. I'm open to
be convinced otherwise.
