What is the great benefit that outweighs the danger to Whois of unbooked transfers and the benefits of incentivizing legacy resources to come under RSA?<br>
Who says my proposal would result in completely unregulated markets? Every transferee would sign an RSA and be subject to ARIN policy.<br>
And with my policy or without my policy, addresses are bound to flow to the highest bidder.<br>
If the policy proposal doesn't fly, it will be to the highest bidder who can show need.<br>
Do you think that we should take more steps to protect the little guy in this event?<br>
Maybe a price cap? An address czar?<br></blockquote><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I keep seeing seeing this argument from you Mike. I honestly can't understand why you think the needs requirement is such an obstacle for a company with a legitimate need for addresses that they would have to avoid ARIN altogether. Following that same train of thought, wouldn't it be easier for a company who didn't care about the process or being honest to just falsify their needs justification?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I deal with tiny tiny tiny companies who have had no problem whatsoever showing need for resources. ARIN staff and policy have always seemed very accommodating from my perspective. </div><div><br></div>
