<div>Steve - </div>

</div>
<div> ARIN's unwillingness to assign you the resources is the result of ARIN following</div>
<div> the policies set by this community, i.e. We cannot issue space simply because</div>
<div> we feel that the application is made in earnest; the request has to match the policy</div>
<div> set by the community because your use of that address space has implications</div>
<div> for all Internet service providers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I will allow others to speak about the merits of the current policies for provider-</div>
<div> independent IPv4 address allocations.</div>

Present transfer policy has the same requirements to receive that block as </div>
<div> for ARIN to issue space from the available IPv4 address pool, so no transfer </div>
<div> would be possible, even if specified from someone else who had sufficient </div>
<div> IPv4 space that could be made available. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In keeping with ARIN’s mission of “facilitates the advancement of the Internet”, I propose that an addition to the set of ARIN’s policies be made that says the following:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“Regardless of any other ARIN Policy, ARIN will allocate an IP block matching ARIN’s current Minimum IP Block Size, to any organization or entity that can reasonably demonstrate a need for an IP block.” (I will let ARIN determine the
appropriate Policy number.) </p>
