I'm shocked to learn that people are playing arbitrage with the transfer process. Oh wait, no I'm not. I may have even expressed my expectation that we'd see this sort of behavior back when we debated the transfer policies. If I had the time, I might dig out my old emails just so I could say I told you so. > the organization will be provided the option to be placed on > a waiting list of pre-qualified recipients, listing both the block size > qualified for or a /22, whichever is smaller, and the smallest block > size acceptable, not to exceed a /22. I fail to see how this solves the problem. For $20k a pop, I can clear a tidy profit on a year, a shell company and some paperwork. Sure I'd rather get $200k a pop but the change doesn't make the effort unattractive. I really just need to create more shell companies. This approach is reactive. Oh, the fraud is mostly on the big blocks so stop that. Oh, now the fraud is on the smaller blocks, what do we do? Don't react. Get ahead of the problem. That's what you do.

Simply release the non-reserved addresses in to the marketplace buy-and-transfer process. That wouldn't end speculation but it would end the get it for free and sell it cheating and it would perfectly level the playing field for folks on the waiting list. There aren't enough addresses involved, so the money could simply fund ARIN, reducing the fees for as long as it happens to last. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
