[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-18: Simplifying MinimumAllocations and Assignments

[Steven Ryerse]

Blake, I would argue that according to your law of physics, this community should not have lowered the minimum ipv4 allocation size - but they did. ARINs mission is to allocate resources and it ISN'T to NOT allocate resources.  The Internet would not be what it is today if resources were not allocated. Why are some in this community so against ARINs actual Mission to Allocate which of course is why ARIN was created in the first place - especially the smallest /24 block.  I would argue that is penny wise and pound foolish.

Opposed, as I do not see the need to justify 200 addresses as enough of a burden to outweigh the benefits of not giving out /24s like candy to those who cannot when coupled with the likely to be implemented minimum /24 size allocation to an ORG.

The laws of physics cause this to be needed, due to current technology used to preform the basic functions of the internet. This would not be good stewardship of the resource as this is a remarkably low barrier to entry considering the ramifications.
