I know I'm stating the obvious here. As a /20 from the free pool is "exactly 
the same resource" as a /20 from the transfer pool there is no valid reason to 
treat them differently with the possible exception of being more lenient to 
attract Legacy holders to reconnect with ARIN.  If you want to do something 
like treat a /16 and below one way and a /17 and above another way - that might 
make sense because they are a different quantity of a resource.  Milton is 
right that in a short time the free pool will be gone and this discussion will 
be moot.  My two cents.

You ask, Owen, how do others in the community feel about this? I for one am 
shaking my head in disbelief.
Are we really having a debate about parity between free pool allocations and 
transfers? When the free pool ends in what, 6 months? 8 months? By the time any 
of the policies we are debating now will go into effect, the distinction will 
be irrelevant.

I disagree. While it is not specifically called out, the simple fact is that 
8.3 transfer policy specifically states that IPv4 transfers should be subject 
to the same policies as IPv4 free pool allocations. It does make an exception 
for the "speculation timeframe" allowed in the request, but otherwise I believe 
that the community's expectation is that they are treated the same and subject 
to the same policies and limitations.

How do other members of the community feel about this?

Owen
