</span>Was this intended to be 8.3.x? It doesn't make sense to me in the<br>
transfer principles section (8.1).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, that was as intended.

</span>I'm inclined to support changing the 8.3 recipient conditions<br>
consistent with this idea but it's not clear to me how this text would<br>
fit with what's already there.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Currently, both 8.3 and 8.4 reference "current ARIN policies" for demonstrating need ("The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies"). This new section 8.1.x would add a new type of policy that would allow organizations requesting simple 8.3 or 8.4 IPv4 transfers to bypass all the complexity and detailed utilization reporting requirements of NRPM section 4.</div><div><br></div><div>-Scott</div></div><br></div></div>
