Hi Scott, Chris:

Any thoughts on controlling fraud? That's an operational problem of
course, not something that goes in the policy, but it is a problem
ARIN staff will have to solve in their implementation of the policy.
The NRPM 4.10 address pool has been a target of fraud in the past, but
with the routing limitation the 4.4 pool has not. Needless to say,
router configs are trivially forged.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
