Hi Daniel, I strongly disagree with these two proposed changes. There is no technical penalty for allowing multihomed registrants to get their addresses directly from ARIN: their routes will be present in the BGP table regardless of where they get the addresses. This is not true of single-homed end users who would generally not have a presence in the BGP table unless they get their addresses from the RIR. As we've discussed principles in recent weeks, we have broad agreement that it's ARIN's job to make scalable routing possible. Right now, that means having single-homed users get their numbers from their upstream. The changes would run counter without apparent gain in one of the other areas discussed as candidate principles.
