    Have you looked at the waitlist lately? it's pretty long. Will take
    quite a while, and you might get a /24. Can't get anything higher
    than a /22, and that only if you lie through your teeth about your
    justification.<br>
    <br>
    It just doesn't strike me as something that's going to materially
    affect anybody, not even the people on the waitlist.<br>
    <br>
    But I still agree that amending the waitlist "Terms" to specifically
    exclude leasing would not be a bad thing - after all we also exclude
    transfers.<br>
    <br>
    As for the general market, as David says, that horse has sailed.
    There is leasing, it's not going away, nobody has so far outlawed
    it, that's a separate subject.<br>
    <br>
    I know one client who leases addresses to people ON THE WAITLIST so
    they can get their businesses working while WAITING for their "free"
    addresses. That sounds to me like a net positive....maybe by the
    time they get their 'freebie' they'll need BOTH blocks and that's a
    great thing.<br>

                                      <pre style="font-family:monospace">Hi Fernando,

You may be missing my point. How do you differentiate in policy between:

Scenario 1: ISP A provides a T1 and a /24. ISP B provides a gigabit
ethernet. Customer routes with BGP on both but depreferences ISP A so
it never shows up in the Internet BGP tables.

Scenario 2: Pretextual ISP C (the defacto address leaser) provides a
/24 and a VPN (or virtual machine other nil-cost transit consuming
mechanism). ISP D provides a gigabit ethernet. Customer routes with
BGP on both but depreferences ISP C so it never shows up in the
Internet BGP tables.

Scenario 1 is considered reasonable and has been for the entire
lifetime of the RIRs.

Scenario 2 is the objectionable address leasing arrangement with a
tiny bit of fluff to bring it into technical compliance with ARIN
policy.


You can't tell ARIN to just exercise their judgement whether something
is defacto leasing. That creates legal risk to the organization where
they can't effectively act against the people they "know" to be
leasers.

You have to write a policy that outright breaks scenario #2 without
harming scenario #1.That's the utilization count approach. ISP A in
scenario #1 is not particularly bothered if ARIN gets a bee in their
bonnet about counting that /24 utilized. So they have to be at 81%
instead of 80%. Same difference.

ISP C in scenario #2, that's their entire business. If ARIN counts it
unutilized, they're out of business.

Get it?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
