selling those resources into the transfer market, as an alternative to
allocating some amended version of the wait list policy. Fraud underlying
any waiting list policy issuance is an appropriate policy concern. However,
ARIN revokes address resources from those who fail to make required payment
s to ARIN which makes up almost all revocations; and in the rare cases of
breach of the RSA or fraud in the obtaining the allocation. Today, ARIN
does not financially benefit in any material way from such revocations.
Adoption of this policy would for the first time allow the party in a
contested revocation situation to argue that ARIN seeks to financially
benefit. Avoiding that concern is also significant.

Hi David,

Very interesting!

So, it's OK if other ARIN registrants benefit from the revocation (in the
form of resources with a well established monetary value) but ARIN itself
must not benefit from the revocation?

I think I have a solution. It involves distributing the auction revenues to
ARIN's paying registrants.
