<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am opposed to this
policy for the following reasons:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) No public
mechanism is specified for proof of utilization. The requestor is required
to prove to ARIN</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>they have efficient
utilization. The requestor is not required to publically publish to the
world efficient</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>utilization.
Under this policy a requestor could make a single SWIP entry for a /23 allocated
to </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wonklulating
Gronkulator corporation, with this corporation not registered in any government
entity, not</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>carrying a business
license of any kind, no website, and a telephone number that rings the phone
in</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>the local public
school's janitor's closet. - and that would be perfectly
fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sure they may be
required to demonstrate to ARIN efficient utilization of the /23 - maybe
they tell ARIN</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>that Wonkulating is
a cover alias for the CIA or some such - but I don't care for
this</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>cloak
</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>and dagger
stuff. The existing SWIP/RWHOIS is adequate to demonstrate efficient
utilization and</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>requestors should be
required to use this mechanism, and extend it when appropriate. If it
cannot be publically</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>proved to most
people's </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2>satisfaction with entries in SWIP and RWHOIS that a particular block is
efficiently</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>utilized - then the
requestor hasn't met the requirements, simple </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>as that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) No mechanism is
specified for continuing proof of 100% utilization. Suppose for example a
requestor</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>demonstrates
efficient utilization and gets their /16 under these increased
requirements. Then 2 years</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>later they go
bankrupt and for the next 10 years a bankruptcy court is paying the registration
fee for the</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2>addresses.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The whole point of
this proposal is to tighten IPv4 requirements because the author is assuming
that</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>the current
requirements are loose enough that over the years a lot of "slop" has
accumulated in addresseing</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>that is already
assigned. In other words it is easier to just request more blocks than
vacuum out the</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>corners of your
network looking for the usable /25 or so and combining them. I don't know
that I agree with</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>this but for the
moment lets assume it's a valid supposition. If so, it is then
illogical to require requestors to</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>jump through hoops
cleaning up their allocations then once more numbers are handed out, they ride
off into</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>the sunset and go
right back to their slovenly ways.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Statements in the
policy exist like "demonstrate a one year requirement of 90% utilization"
But no mechanism in</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>the policy exists
for going back to the requestor a year after they get their /8 and seeing if
they actually DID</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>use 90% - and if
they didn't, then taking some of that allocation back.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Note that I am not
opposed to the IDEA of trying to increase the size of the stick and the carrot
to convince</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>heavy consumers of
IPv4 to "mend their ways" and see the IPv6 light. But this policy is
like a roosters</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=379002420-03102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>mouth - much sound
and it has no teeth at all. Give the thing some dentures at least,
for crying out loud.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
