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

[Owen DeLong]

Dani,

In fairness to Bill, I think he may also have chosen them because I suggested that those would be boundaries I would consider livable.

I believe they represent a good size to guarantee that small organizations are not shut out of the transfer market based on size, but still ensure that need assessment is preserved in order to prevent acquisition of addresses without intended use thereof.

While a /20 is a fair quantity of addresses (4096), it’s a pretty small number of customers for an ISP in most cases and I think anything smaller would be somewhat punitive.

It does also line up well with transfer history and other ARIN data about small-ish organizations and address issuance over the last several years.
