1) The maximum waitlist size should be a /21<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Personally looking at the data I could be convinced /21 is OK from a fraud prevention perspective. However, there seems to be a strong preference for aligning with other RIRs on /22. That seems like as good of an argument as I have seen for what is mostly an arbitrary choice. Do you have a better argument for why it should be /21? Unfortunately, the arguments for /21 that I remember have mostly boiled down to, "that is what I have been planning for and need." I need more on why /21 is the right number over /22. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
2) The policy should require all IP allocations received from the<br>
waitlist be returned to ARIN if they are no longer used. IP<br>
allocations received via the waitlist should not be transferred, sold,<br>
or otherwise acquired in any other fashion.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I can't support the elimination of M&A and reorganization transfers, ARIN should not be an impediment to how anyone organizes or reorganizes their business. There is an argument that completely eliminating transfers just incents people to go around the registry, reducing its accuracy, and after 3 to 5 years, this shouldn't matter too much anyway, at least I hope that is the case. </div><div> </div><div>Thanks.</div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">===============================================<br>David Farmer <a href="mailto:Email%3Afarmer@umn.edu" target="_blank">Email:farmer@umn.edu</a><br>Networking & Telecommunication Services<br>Office of Information Technology<br>University of Minnesota <br>2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815<br>Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952<br>=============================================== </div></div>
