Hi David, Would you mind expanding on that a bit? If an IPv4 transfer market could be shown to exhibit better liquidity in the absence of any ARIN needs analysis (it hasn't, but for the sake of the argument assume someone offered a satisfactory proof that it would) would you come down on the side of better liquidity (addresses are available to be acquired) or documented need like we've applied to the free pool this past decade (only those who deserve addresses get them)? > I think there are even higher principle that we should be considering, such > as. > > - All Internet users (or consumers) and devices connected to the Internet > are entitled to unique internet number resource assigned to them from a > network operator. > > - Network operators, public or private, are entitled to unique Internet > number resource from the Internet Registry System to connect users (or > consumers) and devices to the Internet. Are these not matters of network infrastructure policy outside ARIN's scope? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
