"In other business news, a man traded a kidney for an IPv4 C Class
network today...."<br>

But wait - isn't this a GOOD thing? Who's going to hold out on IPv6
deployment if those addresses are FREE and IPv4 addresses cost more
than an Apple share?<br>

<div>We can’t make the letter of the law force all organizations

Once addresses are no longer available from ARIN, all
organizations in need of addresses will be spending real money to
acquire them. They will spend that money as directed by their
leadership and their shareholders to ensure their own perceived
need is met, not what ARIN thinks they need this week. In fact,
for public companies to do otherwise would be irresponsible to
their shareholders and actionable by said shareholders.<br>
<br>
If they are unable to register the addresses, they will still lock
them up in contracts that are none of ARIN's business (and
entirely invisible to ARIN), not "make those addresses available
to other entities with a more immediate need". That's just not
going to happen, for the same reason GM doesn't say "Well, tires
are going to be in short supply for the next couple of quarters.
We really should stop ordering them so other more charitable car
makers can get their share."<br>

ps. I'd also note that "policy that expresses the general intent
of the community" may in fact *be* policy that lets post-runout
transfers be performed without a needs test, as "the community"
consists of a lot more than "Owen".<br>
