[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-18: LIR/ISP Re-Assignment to Non-Connected Networks - Clarifying Language

[Fernando Frediani]

That's the main point. If such thing would ever becomes normal I have no 
doubt it would create "internet landlords" and that's one of the reasons 
I consider leasing a total misuse of the IP address propose.
I see by the many different views of the questions and even from those 
who would be prepared to accept it, that there reservations and concerns 
so clearly there is something that 'doesn't look good' and is strange to 
the question.

There are already mechanisms to accommodate the needs of those who need 
more IP addresses, the need of newcomers even with some restrictions 
which has been working well since it was implemented and in my view 
leases only accomplish very specific the needs of a few mentioned.

Regards
Fernando
