Needs-assesment does inhibit organizations which lack operational need (present or future) from investing in number resources and monetizing them in the future. There are obviously creative workarounds, but they introduce significant risk and thus makes investment correspondingly less attractive. Whether inhibiting non-operational market participants is desirable (and the related costs of doing so) is an economics/policy question for the community to consider. /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).
