I very much support fixing the problem that ARIN Staff has brought to our
attention. I don't have a strong opinion as to if this is the preferred
solution to the problem. However, there did seem to be a slight
preference by the community for this solution over ARIN-2017-9 at the Maimi
meeting.

Therefore, I support this draft policy and encourage others to make
their opinions known.

Thanks.
