I agree that <br>> the current policy is unclear and possibly causing confusion for ARIN <br>> staff processing transfers when leasing is involved, and that updating <br>> it to prevent abuse of resources without affecting operational <br>> networks is a complex task. Despite the difficulty, I hope the <br>> community can converge on a proposal to that end. Questions of fig <br>> leaves and fraudulent intent are best left to the courts to interpret, <br>> but there cannot be accountability for fraud without clear policy.<br>><br>> In relation to this particular proposal, I would ask the community to <br>> consider the consequences of implementation. Some have suggested that <br>> the current policy can be evaded with simple "fig leaves" to present <br>> the illusion of the provision of network services. I am not so sure. <br>> Under the current policy, I would certainly not be comfortable <br>> requesting an additional /23 or /22 from the waiting list for "VPN <br>> Services" and proceeding to lease that space out to be announced <br>> elsewhere while maintaining a VPN link for appearances. If this policy <br>> were to be adopted, there would be absolutely nothing fraudulent about <br>> requesting a /22 for the purposes of leasing it to be announced on <br>> completely unrelated networks. Given the dozens of emails that I have <br>> received in the last several months offering to buy or lease my <br>> current IPv4 block, I am confident that I could immediately find <br>> lessees and be ready to request additional space from ARIN as soon as <br>> the six month waiting period has expired. Further, as it has been <br>> recently pointed out, this economies of scale only get better as you <br>> obtain more and more space, as my fees would cap out quickly at <br>> $2000/year in around two years which is easily subsidized with the <br>> leasing revenue from 4,096+ addresses. I am uncomfortable with the <br>> idea that anyone with the time to set up a corporation whose business <br>> model is "holding IPv4 resources and leasing them out" could <br>> effectively loot the waiting list for thousands of addresses in a <br>> couple short years. Given the current price explosion in the IPv4 <br>> transfer market, I feel that this risk posed by this proposal to the <br>> integrity of the waiting list is very tangible. Additionally, basic <br>> economics of supply and demand show that opening up the transfer <br>> market for speculation and investment without requiring even the <br>> appearance of an operational network has the potential to cause prices <br>> to skyrocket to even more absurd levels.<br>><br>> Lastly, I also agree with others that the actual proposed policy <br>> language is flawed, "users of the network" is incredibly vague and <br>> it's unclear whether "network" refers to the Internet shared resource <br>> as a whole (global DFZ) or any network.<br>><br>> Isaiah Olson<br>> Olson Tech, LLC<br>><br>>> Policy statement:<br>>><br>>><br>>> Replace<br>>><br>>><br>>> “2.4.
