[arin-ppml] ARIN-2023-8 - Reduce 4.1.8 Maximum Allocation

[Dominik Dobrowolski]

I’m sorry William,

But creating an auction system for returning prefixes if ridiculous.

1. It is unfair to people already on the waiting list
2. It is unfair to smaller organisations not being able to compete with the
resources some of the larger organisations possess. They wait because they
don’t have the resources to pay huge amounts of money to ip brokers -> not
because their requests are illegitimate.
(Keep in mind, for larger orgs that have an urgent need and can afford it,
there are services of ip brokers)

This is my personal opinion, but that is exactly what ip brokers would like
to happen.

This would be legitimising ip brokers, this would reduce ARINs overall
role, reducing it to a role of an ip broker or the wholesaler for ip
brokers.

Categorically I’m against this proposal.

Kind Regards,
Dominik Dobrowolski
