Hi June (and cc Owen),

I agree with your concerns about the current wording as well as whether 
this policy is needed in the first place.

I want to bring your attention to Draft Policy ARIN-2025-3: Change 
Section 9 Out Of Region Use Minimum Criteria, which, despite the name, 
will implement this proposal and more. Thus, if ARIN-2025-8 fails and 
ARIN-2025-3 passes, your opposition here is for naught.

If you oppose ARIN-2025-8, then you must also oppose the current 
iteration of ARIN-2025-3, as it bans out-of-region justification for 
sections 4.1.8 waiting list, 4.4 micro-allocations, /and/ 4.10 IPv6 
transition. It's basically ARIN-2025-8 on steroids, bundled into a 
seemingly unrelated policy.

Best regards,
Quantum
