I think fear mongering about the “usefulness of the registry” by those that seek to eliminate all policy enforcement in the registry should be seen for what it is and that we as a community must make a decision whether we want to have reasonable policies and a culture of cooperation, or, abandon that culture which has worked thus far and allow the regulatory chips to fall where they may when it becomes obvious that we are unwilling to attempt to regulate ourselves.
I don't see a *documented* 40% abandon rate on 8.2 transfer requests as "fear mongering". I strongly suspect that every single one of those abandoned requests is a case where a M&A *actually happened* and yet, because it was abandoned, the registry no longer accurately reflects that M&A activity. (I really can't imagine anyone who would simply, for entertainment value, file 8.2 M&A transfer requests when no M&A has occurred.)
The longer this abandon rate stays high, the more incorrect entries in the registry will accumulate. Not "fear mongering", just fact.
The original author of the draft policy claims to have personal experience that suggests that one of the reasons these are getting abandoned is the language he seeks to remove. I guess I'd like to hear evidence that shows that the abandoned requests are getting abandoned entirely for some other reason before opposing this proposal. Until then, I support it.
