Speaking only for myself, not any employer or any elected 
capacity, I oppose the policy precisely because it is a 
one-time action for one set of entities and (by its own 
logic) still leaving another set of affected entities [as 
noted by Andrew Dul 22 Oct) in the current state. I 
personally expected the community to respond to ARIN-2019-16 
in some way, but as a more structural approach to wait-list 
handling, not a one-time action for a set of parties.

Policies change, sometimes they apply going forward and other
times they apply universally. The wait list has changed and 
will change in future in response to the needs of the community; 
it has never carried any guarantee or lack of risk. 

Cheers,

Joe
