>> I agree with Mathew and CB. We do need to move away from conservation at the RIR level as a goal for both ipv4 and ipv6. Ripe is definitely on the right track with <a href="http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03">http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03</a> and I strongly support that. The same changes should happen for the Arin RIR.<br>

<p dir="ltr">> so i thought i'd chime in: i consider that case to be extremely unmade as yet. even though i am in most other ways a free-marketeer. as stewards of a public resource ARIN has always been guided by RFC 2050 which requires recipients of these public resources to justify their need, no matter whether these resources are coming from a central pool or a private transfer.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Does that mean you require an update to rfc 2050 to move ?</p>

<p dir="ltr">As it stands, speaking from experience, the justification story in v4 and v6 drives design choices. That is an unfortunate fact and negatively impacts system design. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Should 2050bis ask rir not do this fair policy? From what I read in 2050bis is that is says the rir can make their own policy and 2050 is dead. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Do you read it differently?</p>
