<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>This proposal doesn’t really deal
with the problem. Yes, some better reclamation policies need to be instituted,
but the real problem is not “abandoned” resources. It is:1) underutilized
resources that the holder has no incentive to give up, and many strong
incentives not to give up; and 2) shifting addresses from lower-valued uses to
higher valued ones on an ongoing basis. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>But this proposal is a good example of the
kind of trouble into which a few members’ irrational marketo-phobia is
going to get ARIN. In order to avoid the so-called horrors of bilateral
exchanges of address resources among willing parties, you propose to create an
army of snitches -- most of whom will be, no doubt, as self-interested and
economically motivated as any address trader would have been. The process of
monitoring these claims of abandonment is going to make a simple market look
oh, so simple….<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

incentives are real and will find a way to manifest themselves. Institutions
either channel them in constructive directions or they channel them into
bizarre ways. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

intrinsically evil to benefit from selling addresses but good to collect a “finders

font-family:Arial'>Hello- This is a second run of the email Jason
and I sent out during the last ARIN meeting. We wanted to send
out a possible policy route that ARIN could do opposed to using any form of an
Emergency Transfer Market. We need to see input/feedback on ppml for
this. Specifically if this is an avenue you would or would not want to
see ARIN take in place of a Transfer Policy/Market. If we don't get
feedback on ppml we will dump this idea. If we do get feedback
in a manor that shows interest then Jason and I will officially submit this
policy proposal and then work with the community on revising any aspects that
aren't completely appealing or decisively good for the
community. Thank you Marla Azinger
and Jason Schiller</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
