[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2015-9: Eliminating needs-based evaluation for Section 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 transfers of IPv4 netblocks

[Kevin Blumberg]

Dani,

Some observations only.

1) I'm generally not in favour of text that overrides all policy. I believe it is better to contain the policy that you are looking for. I have found that there can very easily be unintended repercussions. 

ie. Would the current text in the policy allow an organization to get space from a reserved free pool block and then transfer it?

2) I have been looking at this from a slightly different angle. Instead of the word "Need" maybe "Criteria" is better suited to the discussion. The term "Need" is a small piece of the policy puzzle, the "Criteria" is what defines it.

Thanks,

Kevin Blumberg
