<div>I wholeheartedly disagree. If the benefits of the policy change don’t exceed the costs, it’s not good policy. I’m not convinced we haven’t already wasted more of our collective time discussing this policy than will ever be saved by the small number of individuals who’d benefit from it (those who can’t easily apply as sole proprietors).</div>

<div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">Appreciate the feedback and question. When considering policy, it’s encouraged to consider the policy exclusively on the merits and not on cost. If it’s good policy, it should be implemented and if not, it should be abandoned. This keeps us focused on whether policy is sound or not. A sound policy can be expensive, and an unsound one can be cheap. </div>

</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing">My feedback on this policy depends on what the "implementation cost" (referenced in the last paragraph of the Legal Review section) will be. Making it easier to access resources is probably worth $10,000 but is probably not worth $250,000, IMO. Do we have a ballpark estimate?</div>

<div class="protonmail_quote">Hello PPML,</div>
<div class="protonmail_quote"><br />
I'm shepherding this policy along with Doug Camin. We're seeking direction from the community as to how the AC should proceed with this policy. There was robust conversation on PPML in late May and early June, which tapered off quickly after the ARIN Staff and Legal analysis was published.</div>
