facilitates the provision of a valuable service to a large swath of the
ARIN community, namely the ability of network operators with an
operational need to lease IPv4 addresses from 3rd party lessors at a
fraction of the cost of purchasing those addresses. Too often we have
seen network operators justify their need for IPv4 space only to find
that they can't afford to make the purchase. They end up using CGNAT or
some other sub-optimal solution.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Bill, regarding your point "B", by providing IPv4 leasing, these 3rd parties are certainly performing a function that ARIN does not.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="zmail_extra_hr" style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); height: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 0px;"><br></div><div class="zmail_extra" data-zbluepencil-ignore="true"><div><br></div><div id="Zm-_Id_-Sgn1">---- On Thu, 10 Mar 2022 17:46:36 -0500 <b>William Herrin <bill@herrin.us></b> wrote ----<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0px;"><div>On Wed, Mar 9, 2022 at 8:24 PM ARIN <<a href="mailto:info@arin.net" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">info@arin.net</a>> wrote: <br>> * ARIN-2021-6: Permit IPv4 Leased Addresses for Purposes of Determining Utilization for Future Allocations <br> <br>I continue to OPPOSE this proposal because: <br> <br>A) It asks ARIN to facilitate blatant and unapologetic rent-seeking <br>behavior with changes to public policy. <br> <br>B) It proposes that third parties perform precisely and only the <br>functions that ARIN itself performs without any credible compliance <br>mechanism to assure the third party performs to ARIN's standards or in <br>accordance with the community's established number policy. <br> <br>Regards, <br>Bill Herrin <br> <br> <br>-- <br>William Herrin <br><a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">bill@herrin.us</a> <br><a href="https://bill.herrin.us/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">https://bill.herrin.us/</a> <br>_______________________________________________ <br>ARIN-PPML <br>You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to <br>the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (<a href="mailto:ARIN-PPML@arin.net" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">ARIN-PPML@arin.net</a>). <br>Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at: <br><a href="https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml</a> <br>Please contact <a href="mailto:info@arin.net" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);">info@arin.net</a> if you experience any issues. <br></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
