[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-14: No Specified Transfers for 4.1.8.2 Blocks

[Owen DeLong]

Personally, I like the prohibitions contained in this policy.

However, it seems to me that I am in a significant minority in this regard. I certainly don’t support relaxing things from where they are in the AC’s recommendation.

>> The ARIN “Unfulfilled Requests” policy creates an opportunity for an ARIN member to claim need for number resources, wait for those resources to become available via returns or reclamations, acquire them (per 4.1.8.2 of the NRPM), wait a day after the mandatory “hold time”, and then profit from them via a specified transfer transaction.

>> IP allocations issued through 4.1.8.2 are non-transferable via section 8.3 and section 8.4. In the case of a section 8.2, transfer of the IP assignment must be utilized for the same purpose or needs justified used for the original 4.1.8 application.
