[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2015-6: Transfers and Multi-national Networks

[Owen DeLong]

I agree with your reasoning, but as a conclusion, I support the broader-based 2015-5 as I believe it provides a more flexible solution to a wider swath of the ARIN community.

Where the addresses are being used at this instant should not have any bearing on whether or not they are "utilized". Clearly if I have a /24 filled to 95% capacity with running VMs, and they're running on physical hardware in Virginia, that /24 is utilized. If I happen to choose later today to move them to a physical host in Luxembourg, the addresses didn't stop being utilized... they're just temporarily being used somewhere else in the world, and that's perfectly reasonable.
