[arin-ppml] Policy Experience Report Working Group Leasing Question

[Matt Erculiani]

Per NRPM 4.1.8:  "...Address space distributed from the waitlist will not
be eligible for transfer, with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for
a period of 60 months..."

Despite this policy not explicitly covering leasing the space, I think the
same sentiment applies: One joins the waiting list to procure IPv4
Addresses to facilitate the generation of revenue (or advance a non-profit
mission) not to generate revenue off of the number resources themselves.

I have to agree that a policy to modify the verbiage of 4.1.8 to prohibit
leasing out the space for at least that same cooldown period would be
beneficial. I think it should also be clear that subleasing smaller blocks
to one's own transit customers is an exception.
