[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2015-7: Simplified requirements for demonstrated need for IPv4 transfers

[Owen DeLong]

I am opposed to this proposal.

It is yet another attempt to chip away at needs basis by those seeking to provide for unlimited and unrestricted transfers.

The community has repeatedly indicated that the preservation of needs basis is important and virtually every proposal
seeking to eliminate it has been rebuffed by the community.

This proposal should, IMHO, be recognized for what it is… A clear effort to reduce the needs-basis requirements for transfers.

Rather than trying to identify every such need and write in exceptions, I felt it would be better to first allow everyone using the transfer market to opt out of section 4 entirely, and then once we have some experience with which requests actually still end up using section 4, we will have some data on which parts of it we need to keep and which can be eliminated in a simplification cleanup proposal.
