[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests

[hostmaster at uneedus.com]

This is why I think all returns instead should go to the 4.10 IPv4 block 
to facilitate IPv6 deployment, since everyone using this block must have 
IPv6 in order to receive space from it.

The idea to take this returned space and serve the remaining wait list 
with their minimum might be approprate, but after that I agree that we 
should be having policies that promote IPv6 instead of just putting it off 
into the far future and ignoring it.  Currently there is no policy to have 
IPv6 in order to receive space from the wait list.

There are suggestions to limit to a /22.  Putting all returned space into 
the 4.10 block would change that to a /24, or let them pay market rates to 
get space if they require more, or are unwilling to have IPv6.

I would also not have a problem with ARIN placing returns into the market 
and using the proceeds to reduce the need to raise fees in the future.

While the IPv4 markets are hot right now, there will reach a point in IPv6 
adoption when the price curve per IPv4 address will start going down.  At 
this point, the fraudsters will move onto some other more profitable 
activity.

I am also in favor of policies that require those who receive address 
space from ARIN by wait list, transfer or otherwise to be required to have 
IPv6 addresses, and a plan to move to IPv6.  ARIN should be using its 
policies to try to get everyone to start using IPv6.

IPv6 is the Future.  We need our policies to help make it happen.
