These transfers can be conducted
in no more than three operations over a 24 month period. None of the transferred addresses can be transferred to another entity for twenty-four months following the date of the last transfer. If the company ceases operations within that twenty-four month window
the addresses automatically become property of ARIN and are placed in the free pool. After that period of time regular transfer rights exist.</span></p>

it encourages companies to go for a small initial allocation rather than buying their max possible size initially knowing that they next time they will need to go through needs testing.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t see any reason to worry about this in the transfer market. We allow for a 24 month need, so there’s no overall advantage IMHO to facilitating a smaller initial transfer and allowing subsequent transfers without need, but if people
feel this is useful, I can live with it. Personally, I think it just encourages fragmentation of the routing table without providing a tangible benefit.</p>

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>
Insisting on perfection is just hamstringing the entire service region... both the speculators *and* legitimate users.<br>

Meanwhile the small end users and ISPs could obtain up to a /22 of a resource that with a lot of careful use of NAT would support a fairly large public network.</span></p>

Everyone knows that the IP address is now an asset and is worth a buck. Who do you think will say: I'll give it for free to this educational organization (because they have proven the need to ARIN) instead of giving it for money to this commercial entity (that

| "ARIN-prop-223 Eliminating needs-based evaluation for Section 8.2, 8.3,<br>
| and 8.4 transfers of IPv4 netblocks" as a Draft Policy.<br>
|<br>
| Draft Policy ARIN-2015-9 is below and can be found at:<br>

<br>
Greetings,<br>
<br>
There has been some stimulating dialog about the merits of 2015-9. I'd like to ask that in addition to any overall support or lack thereof, you also review the policy language and comment specifically on the changes proposed:<br>
a) For those of you generally in support of this effort, are there any refinements to the changes made which you think will improve this should these policy changes be implemented?<br>
b) For those of you generally opposed to this effort, are there any adjustments to the policy changes which, if implemented, would gain your support?<br>
<br>
