I disagree. I would say, instead, that you have proven that there are some people who do not keep their registry records up to date. You have asserted that they would be somehow more likely to update the registry if policy were removed. > With exhaustion imminent, I do not see any downside to the technical > operations of the Internet if we loosen up the needs-basis of 8.2 transfers, > which in reality as Scott from IRS points out, happen with or without the > registry. I see several potential downsides, not the least of which is a strong motivation to disguise 8.3 transfers as 8.2 style transactions.
