It seems trivial to me to divide a /8 into /16s or any other smaller block so I could transfer it without doing the needs justification. I could write a script for the transfer templates and just send them off. Once the legwork for the first transfer is complete, the rest should just flow right through. Nothing I see in the current text or policy prevents someone from taking a larger block and slicing it up to get under the /16 limit. Since most of the brokers are out speculating that these blocks have significant value it seems clear that if the large players need them they will just be paying a staff person a few extra hours to manage this overhead.
Does the current policy need to change? Yes. Do I think this policy proposal is the right answer, No. Andrew _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
