I have no problem with the idea of getting rid of the waiting list part of <br>
the proposal.<br>
<br>
I do have a problem with an auction, as I think it will cause lots of <br>
issues when ARIN revokes resources, because it certainly will be alleged <br>
that "ARIN did it for the money", as has already been discussed, and will <br>
make any legal action a lot more costly. The Board choosing to use auction <br>
proceeds for legal costs would be like pouring gasoline on a fire, and I <br>
note that the Board could choose to spend auction proceeds in this <br>
fashion, since how to spend the proceeds is totally under their control.<br>
<br>
Rather than an auction, I propose putting the returns in the 4.10 <br>
Dedicated IPv4 Block to Facilitate IPv6 Deployment. This pool is limited <br>
to a /24 maximum. This use would also promote IPv6 use.<br>
<br>
This would leave the marketplace as the only source of IPv4 addresses <br>
greater than a /24. It would also effectively limit any "free" addresses <br>
to smaller players.<br>
<br>
If we are giving out "Free" addresses at ARIN, why not impose a condition <br>
that the addresses so provided be used as part of IPv6 deployment?<br>
