[arin-ppml] Updated text: ARIN 2020-6 Swap Policy

[Mike Burns]

Hi,

I think the larger block should be allowed to be sold in pieces, notwithstanding the disaggregation.

I think the recipient should lose the ability to receive addresses immediately upon receipt of the smaller block, until the larger block is completely sold. Including waitlist addresses, not included other reserved addresses.

If the smaller block is a /24, there should be no needs test.
I would lose the officer attestation.

Regards,
Mike

This new language has my support, with a few comments:

- If I’m reading this properly, the prohibition on transferring the smaller block kicks in if the larger block isn’t transferred within a year. Have we considered the option of having that restriction kick in immediately until the larger block is transferred? Or was that considered too onerous?

- I’ve noticed that officer attestation language is present in the new 8.5.5.1.1 subsection; I’m assuming this will remain in place despite the separate discussion on removing the need for officer attestations, and removed via a future policy proposal if that action is taken. Please advise if that assumption is incorrect.

Thanks,

If the larger block is not transferred within one year of receipt of the smaller block, the smaller block will be ineligible for transfer under sections 8.3 and 8.4, and the organization will be ineligible to receive any further transfers under this policy.
