So this looks like a decent compromise to me. Yes, it'll have to be revisited in a couple of years' time; yes, the specifics probably aren't perfect. The community can change those. The policy can even be written such that ARIN staff can change them independently (although this doesn't seem to be a popular model).<br class="">Insisting on perfection is just hamstringing the entire service region... both the speculators *and* legitimate users.<br class="">-Adam<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></p><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">On September 26, 2015 8:47:46 PM CDT, Brian Jones <<a href="mailto:bjones@vt.edu" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: purple;" class="">bjones@vt.edu</span></a>> wrote:<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">I find Bill's proposal an interesting middle ground approach.
