[arin-ppml] ARIN-2019-7: Elimination of the Waiting List (was:Re: Looking for final show of support on revised Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests

Tue Jun 25 14:38:40 EDT 2019

I wish to offer a perspective from the English-speaking Caribbean.

Starting as far back as 2004 and for several interrelated reasons, some of
us have been actively encouraging companies and entities with
Internet-aware networks to ditch their traditional arrangement for number
resources via their ISPs and procure their IP number resources, inclusive
of ASNs, directly from ARIN.

For the mostly 'small' networks that are in play in our region, IPv4
resources are more than adequate to need.  And since that time, we have
seen growth in terms of entities procuring and ARIN offering [IPv4] number
resources and ASNs directly.

Any policy or protocol that introduces more hurdles to jump or potentiates
increased prices for our small network operations are inimical to Caribbean
interests.

It now appears to us a removal of the waitlist and an auction for recovered
IPv4 resources would be disadvantageous and negative mediators of our
interests.

We are opposed.
