<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I'd go a step further even to say there should be an explicit policy statement *against* the leasing of IP space from entities who obtain IP space from the waitlist. Even further, if an entity obtains IP space from the waitlist, it should have to attest that they are not leasing its IP space to another entity. I believe in the community's efficient use of IP space, so perhaps if an entity is not using its entire IP space, it should hand the corresponding blocks back to ARIN or alternatively let ARIN govern a fair and acceptable method to lease IP space. Still, it should *not* be for profit.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, May 5, 2023 at 11:58 AM Michael B.

My answer is a resounding no. That defeats the whole purpose of the waitlist. Entities should not be encouraged to hoard IP space because ARIN will subsidise the cost, allowing a for-profit entity to make money from obtaining IP space.</div></div>
