I see little difference I see between this policy and simply saying
that anyone willing to pay the fee for a /48 can have one. The only
notable difference is that under this policy a registrant may wish to
first hire a consultant sufficiently steeped in ARIN policy language
to properly phrase and exhibit his supporting documentation. I approve
of this and SUPPORT the draft as written.
