choose not to share if you don’t want to for any reason – and that of course is your right.

<div>Steve - As noted several times before, Microsoft qualified to receive address</div>
<div>space under the transfer policy, and they further agreed the the space received </div>
<div>would be subject to ARIN's policies.</div>

The Policy Development Process provides a specific process for changing policy, </div>
<div>and none provides for the staff creating policy on its own or disregarding adopted</div>
<div>policy.</div>

I will note your concern with the existing policy to the Board, but note that the Board </div>
<div>is quite likely to seek the ARIN Advisory Council's view on what change to policy (if </div>
<div>any) is appropriate. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The best way to make sure that reasonable requests are approved is to work on policy </div>
<div>that meets your definition of reasonable. Others may have differing views, and it is the</div>
<div>policy discussion on this list and during the public policy meetings that will drive the </div>
<div>final result.</div>
