Adam - There is little applicable policy with respect to the usage of IP address blocks, i.e. it is not clear that such leasing is (or should be) disallowed. This is a good reason for the community to think carefully about restrictions on transfers - as noted earlier by others, restrictions on transfers often lead to workarounds via creative usage models. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (ARIN-PPML@arin.net).
