ARIN’s Articles and Bylaws do not specifically prohibit ARIN from monetizing returned or revoked resources by selling those resources into the transfer market, as an alternative to allocating some amended version of the wait list policy. Fraud underlying any waiting list policy issuance is an appropriate policy concern. However, ARIN revokes address resources from those who fail to make required payment s to ARIN which makes up almost all revocations; and in the rare cases of breach of the RSA or fraud in the obtaining the allocation. Today, ARIN does not financially benefit in any material way from such revocations. Adoption of this policy would for the first time allow the party in a contested revocation situation to argue that ARIN seeks to financially benefit. Avoiding that concern is also significant.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Based on this assessment, I find it difficult to support this course of action or this policy.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 9:41 AM Mike Burns <<a href="mailto:mike@iptrading.com" target="_blank">mike@iptrading.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_2269213680960649901gmail-m_4105536709847417649WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Robert and Bill that it is an illogical market distortion to have this source of free addresses.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">And that the assumption that “need” at an earlier point in time is still the same “need” when addresses randomly come available in the future is faulty.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I would prefer to starve the waiting list to death, but apparently it continues to be fed by various inputs.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">(I think recovered addresses should be returned to IANA or added to another reserve pool at ARIN instead of adding them to waiting list inventory.) <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I don’t support the selling of addresses by ARIN.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I think the 5 year waiting period is 4 years too long.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I think the recent recovery of fraudulently allocated space means that those already on the waiting list should be grandfathered-in regarding size, and regarding the new size limit of a /20 of their current holdings.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">That said, in the interests of moving forward I support the AC recommendation.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> ARIN-PPML <<a href="mailto:arin-ppml-bounces@arin.net" target="_blank">arin-ppml-bounces@arin.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Robert Clarke<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 06, 2019 9:27 PM<br><b>To:</b> William Herrin <<a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us" target="_blank">bill@herrin.us</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> ARIN-PPML List <<a href="mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net" target="_blank">arin-ppml@arin.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [arin-ppml] Looking for final show of support on revised Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8.
