<DIV>ARIN has more than a decade of experience doing documented needs
assessments,</DIV>
<DIV>and (as it has been pointed out by others on the PPML list), it is
not very difficult for an</DIV>
<DIV>existing network operation to show the past growth
and future plans to warrant allocation </DIV>
<DIV>(or transfer) for additional address space. We often come up with
a different view than</DIV>
<DIV>organizations applying for resources, and this does result in a request
being denied or </DIV>
<DIV>going through for a smaller allocation than expected. As long as
the policies require that</DIV>
<DIV>we have documented needs assessment, we will continue to perform
them.</DIV>
