<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I would point out that I submitted proposal 2014-18 which would have removed needs testing only on the minimum sized allocations – so yes I am trying to fix it
at the low end. I think the Needs testing needs to be scrapped altogether as was done in the Europe region in favor of right size testing but that isn’t the battle I’m trying to fight.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">A more pointed example of what I find wrong with needs testing rather than right sizing allocations per the size of the org and their network would be this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">A group of folks who all have one or more .com domain name allocation(s) and are all running one or more web sites using those allocations on the Internet gets
together to form a “Community” to Advance the use of the Internet. At a particular point in time the various opinions of the members of this community aggregate their then current opinions and Best Practices on how .com domains should be managed and allocated,
and a set of .com domain allocation policies are formed. Of course since the policies are essentially an aggregate of the opinions of the members of that community at that time - they are arbitrary - and hopefully but there is no guarantee, that there has
been wisdom and fairness built into these policies. As time goes on more opinions from this Community are aggregated and the .com domain policies are modified and hopefully improved but of course there is no guarantee of that since they are an aggregated
arbitrary collection of hopefully best practice opinions formed into policies. One day a very small org decides it is in their best interest to apply for an allocation for one domain name so they can have a web site. They are willing to pay the fee for
it and they check the registry database and find that abc123doreme.com has not been allocated to anyone - and so they apply to have it allocated to them. Unfortunately for that small org, the policies have been modified over time and based on applying the
then current policies (which are and always will be arbitrary), the request for that one unallocated domain name is rejected per current Policy. Of course the effect of this rejected allocation request is that this small org can NOT bring up their web site
using the denied domain name. Even though it may or may not have been the intent of this .com domain “Community” to shut out the small Org from using the Internet in the way they felt was in their best Interest, THE SMALL ORG HAS BEEN SHUT OUT BY THIS .COM
ALLOCATION “COMMUNITY” via policies)! This small Org doesn’t think it is fair that the others got a .com allocation - and there is one available - and they still can’t get even ONE! Many of these folks who now have one or many .com allocation(s) would not
be able to get their existing .com allocation(s) today under the current .com allocation policies as currently defined by this .com allocation Community. This small Org didn’t apply for many .com domain names – they applied for the Minimum of one of them.
And of course they are correct – the polices the .com allocation Community aggregated did in fact shut out this one small Org from bringing up their valued web site because they were denied the resources required to do so by the only official “Community” in
their region that can give them approval. Worse yet other small Orgs continue to get denied by the current policies. Instead of the Internet being Advanced by the Community’s Policies which of course was originally put in the Mission Statement so that everyone
would know their Mission, application of the Policies has done the exact opposite and this small Org and others who have been denied have suffered.

might have any changes to my proposed language to improve the proposed policy to try and fix this. But in the end my policy proposal was voted down by the AC without even one email from the assigned Shepard(s) telling me a vote was even scheduled - and without
checking to see if I might have any additional input for them to consider before they voted. What a system!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Then your issue is with how needs basis was being applied to IPv4 3 years ago (and perhaps you also have issues with how it is currently being applied), rather than needs basis in general.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thus, your continued railing against all needs testing distracts from rather than enabling work towards an improvement to IPv4 needs basis that might resolve your issue. Arguing to eliminate needs testing creates a binary argument where
those of us who believe needs testing is essential to good stewardship vs. those who want to eliminate it altogether.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Though it has been a few months since I made those comments, I appreciate your feedback. Your description of "walk away with someone else’s belongings" seems to indicate that somehow the use of the Internet and the IP addresses that make
the use of the Internet possible, is owned by ARIN or this Community or maybe ARIN and this Community.<br>
<br>
I find that line of thinking about as far as one can get from the spirit of Jon Postel and the way he went about advancing the Internet. When I read the original Mission Statement for ARIN or even the current one, I don't see that "needs" are more important
than the actual mission of advancement and allocation. Good stewardship should be practiced but NOT to the detriment of the mission of advancement and allocation.<br>
<br>
In my opinion this community is so caught up in making sure needs based policies are followed, that it has lost sight of the real mission of advancing the Internet. Regardless of your personal definition of need, why is some org who doesn't have a need (as
currently defined by policy) now precluded from getting resources? How does that advance the Internet? I never met Jon Postel but from what I've heard about him, I suspect he would frown on some of the current policies regarding needs. My comments below
and others I have made are intended to try to bring some balance into the discussion and my hope is that some day in the near future that will happen. I certainly don't desire there be no rules at all but the very loose rules followed by Jon Postel worked
pretty well advancing the Internet. I think we could loosen the current policies like has been done in other regions and it would have a positive outcome. My two cents.<br>

<br>
I completely disagree. There are dozens if not hundreds of people with non-fraudulent requests who get denied for insufficient justification. That is ARIN doing their job successfully in my mind. If widespread fraud occurs and ARIN does not take action, then
I feel strongly that ARIN would not be doing their job.<br>
<br>

<br>
Do you mean that if it were permissible to walk away with someone else’s belongings, then theft would no longer occur? Your statement is true without making any sense at all.<br>
<br>
> I'm sure an org willing to submit a fraudulent request would tell you that they do have a need but they may not happen to meet the current arbitrary (and they are arbitrary) policy.<br>
<br>
I disagree completely. ARIN’s role is to satisfy needs-based requests. Exercising judgement of whether a need is realistic is doing their job.<br>
<br>
The only thing arbitrary here is your desire for there to be no rules at all. Deeply amusing, but not helpful for realistic policy.<br>
