<p>I remain opposed to this proposal for different reasons. Reducing
the allocation from /22 to /24 will not solve any tangible
problem. Instead will create a new one as /24 is so small even for
the smaller organizations that are waiting in order to use it
properly to connect people and businesses. It is necessary to
guarantee that whoever receives in such scenario has a bare
minimal to do things and /22 is already something very small.<br>
This allows organizations to exist, innovate and then at some
point in time be able to transfer further blocks in order to keep
doing business.<br>
<br>
It may sound the proposal be aiming to reduce anxiety from having
to wait too long in the waiting list, but the reality is that
there aren't IP addresses left to to replenish the pool and there
is no much that can be done about that. That is a fact for quiet a
while.<br>
<br>
What I would support in another proposal is to reduce the
eligibility criteria to stand in the waiting list to simply have
already any IPv4 allocation regardless the size. There is a big
significant difference between one who has addresses already and
newer one who have nothing. Whatever left can go to them and will
benefit the Internet in the region by having more and different
actors and business happening. Those who have something have
options to continue and grow their existing business.</p>

Strange formulation since ARIN issues transferred IP addresses to the recipient.

Bad grammar. Which ever held? Even if you fix it to "which have ever
held," it's still a clumsy sentence.
And why exclude 4.4 and 4.10? Are there an abundance of critical
infrastructure providers who don't have other IPv4 space, can't afford
to get it on the market, yet have the time to dilly dally on the
waitlist? Doesn't seem like such infrastructure is particularly
critical.

So if I create an LLC to hold the addresses I can sell the LLC to get

with this exception the recipient wouldn't even have to maintain the
LLC.
