> ARIN staff, faced with a surge in near-exhaust allocations and subsequent transfer requests and a requirement for team review of these, is spending scarce staff time on needs testing of small transfers. This proposal seeks to decrease overall ARIN processing
time through elimination of that needs test.<br>
> Policy statement:<br>
> Change the language in NRPM 8.3 after Conditions on the recipient of the transfer: from "The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA." to "For transfers larger than
a /16 equivalent, the recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA."<br>
> Change the language in the third bullet point in NRPM 8.4 after Conditions on the recipient of the transfer: from "Recipients within the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IPv4 address space." to "For transfers larger than
a /16 equivalent, recipients in the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA."<br>
> Comments:<br>
> Needs testing has been maintained for transfers largely because the community wishes to ensure protection against hoarding and speculation in the IPv4 market. This proposal seeks a middle ground between the elimination of needs tests for transfers altogether,
and the continuance of needs tests for every transfer. This should help ARIN staff to reduce transfer processing time, since most transfers have been smaller than /16.<br>

<p>Opposed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>ARIN and the community should focus on deploying ipv6 not pulling the fire alarm on ppml.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This is not an emergency. These policies and forces have been around for years. Clinging to ipv4 is costly.
