Bill,<div><br></div><div>I have a question for you. Right now ARIN's policy is sometimes stricter than in other regions. Having gotten address space in the past from ARIN, RIPE and APNIC this could seriously be debated but the perception is that ARIN is more difficult. This is based on the policies developed in this region for the acquisition of address space. Do you want to make those policies less restrictive for transfers than for getting address space from the free pool? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I feel that there would be a huge public outcry if another region changed their needs based policy specifically for transfers to make it easier than their regular needs based policy for getting space from whatever free pool they have left. APNIC has a policy in last call right now to specifically add needs basis back in (in essence making their policy more stringent) so that they can be compatible and get transfers from this region. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I am interested in peoples' thoughts on this. Should we have two different justifications for need, one for transfers and one for the free pool? </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>-----Cathy</div>

I make the same claim about the text on the table. We could argue for<br>
days whether overall it's more or less fair than making a registrant<br>
meet both RIR's policies, but at the end of the argument the truth<br>
remains that the text on the table is not fair to would-be ARIN-region<br>
recipients.<br>
<br>
Would it be unreasonable to suggest that any unavoidable unfairness in<br>
this, ARIN's process, be weighted in favor of ARIN's registrants<br>
rather than against them?<br>
