I agree that statistical data should be used in this case to validate
that the problem exists. Not only do non-disclosures prevent ARIN
from presenting most evidence of specific cases, but ARIN acknowledges
that there may be specific instances where transferring out a block
received from the waiting list is not fraudulent at all, but due to
unusual but legitimate business circumstances. It would not be fair
to publicly point out all actors in potential fraud when a few of them
might not be culpable. But the statistical evidence is strong
enough to indicate that fraud exists.<br><br>
In that regard, in addition to the data John Curran provided showing the
high percentage of larger blocks that have been re-transferred, it's
worth reviewing the presentation by John Sweeting at the ARIN 42 meeting
last October where he discussed the evidence and solicited possible
solutions from the community.<br><br>

Specifically, John discusses the re-transfer statistics, the fact that
several waiting list orgs already have at least a /16 of space, and the
cases of 8.2 mergers performed by orgs on the waiting list to consolidate
their holdings, avoid the one year wait, and then perform an 8.3
transfer.<br><br>

To be clear. For the purposes of the Policy Proposal I'm perfectly
content with the aggregate data that has been provided.<br><br>
The problem statement from the author, in my view, matches up with the
data provided by John Curran. <br><br>
