These are some of my thoughts, that I would like to share with all of you and hoping that we can bring
people’s attention to this issue.</div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28610">The IPV4 review team of ARIN obviously have different interpretations of the policy. For some cases, the review is all extremely strict; while on the other hand, some other cases, the review is very loose. And these applications actually don’t have a whole of differences.</div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28437">In fact, there’s a mole or more moles inside the ARIN IPv4 review team, who cut some slacks for his or her associate applicants during the application review process, and granted them IP addresses or more. While for the applicants he or she don’t know personally, no matter how reasonable your application material, your ground for need of IP
addresses are, they just won’t approve your
application and grant you nothing but a big refusal. By doing this, this mole( or these moles) stocks these IP addresses by manipulating the policy and then plans to profit from it by selling the precious IP addresses to the market one year later.</div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28438">I know John Curran would definitely stand up and defend their team. Well, try to spend some time on ethic education on the review team, less time defending.</div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28439">Now there’s only 0.99 /8 IP addresses left. I know some people would think they can still apply if they really need it, but the truth is they are “pre-ordered” under ARIN’s inside arrangement. Funny thing is that every single time when anyone
questions how they review applicants or they way
they review, ARIN can always get away using NDA. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28440">Each quarter, ARIN issues a fraud report to show the public that they’ve done this and that to prevent fraud, and not a single time have they ever disclosed any fraud incident. Either they’ve really done an “amazing” job to prevent fraud or this so-called fraud report is auto-generated just for show, and no serious effort was ever made in terms of preventing or investigating fraud.</div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28441"><br class="yiv2606898965" style=""></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="yiv2606898965" id="yiv2606898965yui_3_13_0_1_1399171618704_28442">We
