[Hunter, Kathleen]

+1 to Owens thoughts on this. I know we will continue to do this even after the policy is cleaned.

I will point out that removing the requirement does not prevent anyone from continuing to provide the information. It merely makes it optional instead of mandatory.

In many cases, the reporting in question is an artifact of policy that was specially crafted to aid CMTS-based providers in being able to obtain sufficient IP space to actually provision networks while attempting to avoid widespread and massive abuse through a gaping policy loophole. Given the absence of an IPv4 free pool, that policy is no longer particularly applicable and I believe some of it has already been eliminated. As such, this is, IMHO, just some additional cleanup of the NRPM to further adapt to a post-IPv4 world.

It also might increase geographic route issues because I have come across some companies that sell geo filter software based off ARIN records.

The draft policy removes the Residential Market Area record keeping and publication requirement placed upon one segment of the ISP population for ARIN IPv4 allocations. Since this requirement does not apply to IPv4 transfers it is a legacy element of policy sustaining administrative overhead for a subset of the community.  No concerns have been raised by the community  and there has been demonstrable support since its initial proposal.
