Just some quick thoughts.  Nothing I would fall on my sword over.    

1a.	Do you feel that we should place an upper limit on the size of the smaller block
    	received in the process?

	Yes, with an appeal process for unique scenarios.


    1b.	If so, what should that upper limit be?

	Start small, /23 should be enough to get the effort moving, force justification that is easily verifiable for increasing it.

    2.	Do you support limits on the time period allowed for renumbering?

    	2a. If so, how long?  

	6 months to 1 yr depending on type of org and size of small block

    	2b. If so, what consequences should there be for exceeding the time limit?

	Not sure what you can do besides increase billing cost/penalty fee, or provide some kind of allocation hook.

    3.	Should any additional restrictions or prohibitions be placed on use of waitlist
    	space in these transactions?

    	3a. Restrictions on waitlist providing the smaller block?
	

    	3b. Restrictions on waitlist space being transferred out?



    4.	Do you support the policy as currently written?

	Yes

    5.	If not, would you support it with the changes suggested in your answers above?

    Hi Owen,

    Thanks for spurring conversation on this proposal.

    In my experience those who frequently want to acquire a small block to renumber into are holders of much-larger blocks who can realize higher prices if they sell their much-larger block intact. The market is rewarding larger block sizes with higher unit prices these days.

    But how can they justify the small block they need to renumber into, since they usually have many more addresses than they are currently using?

    The workaround of a second ORG made it easier for the second ORG to acquire space, as it had none.

    But if we just adopt this policy language, the problem of the acquisition of the smaller block remains.
    I would likely advise my clients to choose the workaround.

    Actually I think the policy intention is good but it should be implemented in a different way.
    Recipients of  8.3 or 8.4 transfers can choose an option which avoids any needs-test in exchange for a promise to transfer out eight times the number received within a year. Only one option can be active at a time. These Recipients would be excluded from current source restrictions.

    I think the policy needs to consider the justification problem for recipients of the small block they need to renumber into, in addition to the exclusion of these companies from the source restrictions, or it only provides half the reason to avoid the workaround.

    (Also I think there should be no needs-tests or source-restrictions as conservation is provided by price and address turnover is not a BAD THING. ?)

    Regards,
    Mike

    Playing devils advocate for a moment, how would we prevent either of the following abuse scenarios:

    1.	This allows virtually any ORG to acquire 1.125x their current holdings and use all of the
    	addresses (smaller block + original holdings).

    2.	An ORG considering selling some (or all) of its IPv4 holdings decides that a 1.125x
    	multiplier on their ROI is appealing and even though they don?t need the space for
    	renumbering, chooses to take this option as a way to get a revenue bump.

    We agreed to disagree about this a long time ago. Of course, you are free to support a policy proposal to eliminate needs tests and/or source restrictions and try to build consensus around it if you feel that?s the right way to go. Should you need help drafting such, I am available to assist.

    I like it, but I suggest ??are simply referred to by the term Registration Services Agreement (RSA)??

    Alternatively, ??each and every form of this agreement (past, present, and future), is referred to as??

    I would leave off the last sentence. It gets into spelling out what?s contained in the RSA which I believe is out of scope for the PDP.

    To clarify, proposed alternate version:

    2.X Registration Services Agreement (RSA)
    Number resources allocated or assigned by ARIN under these policies are
    subject to a contractural agreement between ARIN and the resource holder. 
    Throughout this document, any and all forms of this agreement, past or
    future, are simply referred to as the Registration Services Agreement 
    (RSA).
