<p>This diverts totally the objective of a RIR and puts it into a
position that none of them have ever been. RIRs are not to sell IP
space. It should remain being the entity that only allocates
addresses to those who justify for them according to approved
policies and register them in the whois database. If fees are
considered high this should be a topic to be discussed by voting
members when they elect the ARIN Board of Trustees in order that
they can give direction to staff to reduce costs they find
necessary.<br>
</p>
<p>Waitlist can still be a source of initial IP space for new comers
- if we can eliminate this luxury of keep allocating to those who
already have some. Eliminating it only contributes to make things
more difficult to a scenario that will last for years and will not
help in any significant way to force the late ones to deploy IPv6.</p>

Hello,
I would still prefer to see the waitlist eliminated. I just don't see
a way to make its presence in the overall market fair or equitable.
Instead of a waitlist, ARIN should offer reclaimed addresses for sale
via one of the third party brokers and use any revenues thus obtained
to discount the fees charged to registrant organizations which have
deployed IPv6.
Short of such a change, however, I support the ARIN-2023-8 as written.
It is closer to sensible than the current policy.
Regards,
Bill Herrin
