Owen -<br>
<br>
Could you elaborate your thoughts regarding the harm that might occur?<br>
<br>
I believe that folks understand risks associated with sudden/unexpected IPv4 free<br>
pool depletion, but you are suggesting that liquidity itself in the IPv4 transfer<br>
market is harmful. As that is neither obvious nor aligned with most market theory,<br>
it would be best for you to elaborate your thoughts some on that aspect.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
