[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 167, Issue 80

Hi all,
I agree with Michael Williams, I'm in the same situation, and on the waiting
list for more than a year. I need a /21, to finally be free of upstream
providers fees for IPv4 addresses (lease). I'll gladly give back all
resources to ARIN in the eventuality of end of business, or if I can manage
to switch completely to IPv6. Not interested with the IPv4 black market.

I'm in charge of a very small coop cable operator, my market is about 1900
customers, we're hooking members as fast as possible, will reach (and
surpass) /22 in a few months. So, in my perspective, /21 should be the
maximum.

There are organizations of all sizes with direct unmet needs for address
blocks of all sizes up to /16 or larger.  The waitlist is *not* intended to
meet all such requests: it simply can't be done, because the free pool is
empty, and there is way more demand than supply at a price of ~$0.  Rather,
the waitlist is intended to make sure that returned/reclaimed addresses are
not stuck at ARIN, but rather distributed in a way that serves a useful
purpose.

Organizations that need large blocks of address space should be going to the
market to acquire them, and transferring them to meet their justified need.
Some organizations that need smaller blocks of addresses, but not urgently,
can try to get them via the waitlist.  But the more larger allocations we
allow from reclaimed space, the fewer such organizations can be served, and
the longer they'll need to wait.  So it makes sense to me to have a
relatively stringent maximum wait list allocation, particularly since that
also reduces the financial reward to fraudulent actors and/or those
attempting to game the system.

So I support this policy, including the /22 maximum.
