Matthew,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for taking the initiative on this. I think a number of us agree that there are some good opportunities to tweak transfer policy now that we have started to see the effects of 8.3 in the real world. I know there were several other community members looking to propose tweaks as well, so I would encourage everyone considering such changes to do a small amount of coordination here on PPML before submitting proposals to <a href="mailto:policy@arin.net">policy@arin.net</a>. Putting up a quick note with a summary of your idea and/or sample text and soliciting co-authors should be enough to get the folks interested in a particular idea all working together...</div>
<div><br></div><div>I know there were discussions in Puerto Rico for two changes: increasing the window for justified need under 8.3 from 12 months to 24, and changing or removing the single-aggregate requirement. Not sure if there are other changes people have been considering as well...</div>
