<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I don't think there's a problem here: to date ARIN staff have done exactly the right thing without explicit policy direction, and I see no reason that they would stop doing so. For that reason, and the reasons outlined by Dan below, among others, I oppose this policy proposal. <br>

<div>It is understandable that people would want IPv4 resources to stay in the region when they are scarce. But what happens when the ARIN region starts to reach parity with IPv6 services? IPv4 resources will start to lose their urgency in this region, but
will still be needed in others. </div>

<div>What happens if the DoD were to return several /8's to ARIN? Is it in the best interest of the global Internet community that the ARIN region not return resources? Does anyone consider this hoarding? If another region were to exhibit similar behavior,
this region would be quite vocal in opposition. </div>

<div>Does the current wording implement a double standard?</div>
