Hi David,

My read is that we retain just enough teeth in "justified need" that
ARIN can revoke if someone starts "flipping" addresses. Unless of
course they smuggle the addresses outregion before ARIN catches on.
The documentation process becomes functionally unverifiable until the
registrant takes a public contrary action. We then let the external
cost of transfers take primary responsibility for discouraging
inappropriate requests.

Is that about the size of it?

I worry about unintended interactions with the outregion transfer
policy. Gets slippery if a non-practicing entity can set up in the
middle.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
