[arin-ppml] Oppose Draft Policy ARIN-2020-2

[Brandt, Jason]

I find it hard to understand how you can believe that this is "special benefits". 

Organizations went through the approved process to get on the wait list to *possibly* be assigned an address block.  The policy on allocations was changed, however the organizations did everything by the book per previous policy.  The organization is now told that they have to go through the process again and wait longer.  This has nothing to do with potential space allocation.  I am all for limiting the allocation amount in the future.  However, to penalize an organization that has followed the process to this point is unfair.  This also is no guarantee that these organizations will receive an allocation.  More likely, they'll continue to wait.  

This draft policy is simply to not penalize organizations that went through the proper process of what was approved policy at the time.  A similar scenario would be arresting someone who has broken a law, prior to the offense becoming law.  

I continue to support this policy, not because I agree that larger requests should be granted, but because the organizations had followed the approved process and policies.

I *oppose* adoption of ARIN-2020-2 because it's purpose is to grant special benefits to a specific set of orgs, granting them an exception over any other org that has or will apply for resources under current policy. I do not believe this policy proposal is in the best interest of the community as a whole. The staff assessment in ARIN-2019-16 clearly noted such an outcome that ARIN-2020-2 seeks to reverse.

I also find statements of "fairness" made in the policy to be in conflict with itself; it purports to be a "... fair, impartial, and technically sound" draft policy, however, later stating that it was proposed only because of a belief that "... some organizations were treated unfairly." Whether or not ARIN-2019-16 specifically was fair or unfair should not be the basis of new policy since in ARIN-2019-16 the ARIN staff assessment (under legal comments) specifically stated that "The new AC proposal will help reduce fraudulent applications, such as those that were being made under the pre–suspension policy ...". It is my opinion that ARIN-2020-2 seeks to undermine this whereas ARIN-2019-16 sought to protect the community.

Therefore, I oppose adoption of ARIN-2020-2 "Reinstatement of Organizations Removed from Waitlist by Implementation of ARIN-2019-16".
