[arin-ppml] Looking for final show of support on revised Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests

[David Farmer]

I support moving forward with the Advisory Council Recommendation as
written.  That said I do think the recommendations are on the conservative
side, that is, they are somewhat more restrictive than absolutely
necessary, while still being reasonable. The /22 limit is definitely on the
smaller side and based on the data available a /21 or a /20 could also
reasonable alternatives. Further, the 5-year waiting period for resale is
also more restrictive than absolutely necessary. However, this is
intentional, I like the idea of slightly overshooting in response to the
fraud, leaving room to relax the restrictions a little bit in the future
based on the community's consensus.

Therefore to reiterate, I support moving forward with the Advisory Council
Recommendation as written. This restarts distribution from the waiting list
in a timely fashion. Further, I also support the community working to find
consensus on slightly relaxing these new restrictions; I would support /21
or even up to /20 as the maximum distribution size, 2 or 3 years as the
waiting period for resale, and expanding the organization size limit as
high as /18.

However, the idea that organizations are making "business plans" based on
the waiting list seems absurd to me. Serious business plans should be to
obtain IPv4 resources from the market, the market is the only reliable
source of resources at this time. Making a business plan based on the
waiting list is almost like making a business plan based on winning the
lottery, no one would take such a plan seriously, neither should a plan
based on the waiting list be taken seriously. The purpose of the waiting
list is to ensure IP resources are not stuck at ARIN, but they are put to
use by someone. The waiting list also provides an option for those caught
unaware by IPv4 exhaustion, in other words, those without a plan.

Thanks.
