Hi Gary, Well, yes and no. The mechanisms we expect ARIN to use to discourage waste of number resources (and the conditions under which it is appropriate to do so) are within scope for policy. To the extent that money is a major motivator for discouraging waste, I think its discussion in the context of policy is appropriate. I agree that the more specific a discussion of money gets, the less likely it is to be in scope for a policy discussion. But a high-level "money should discourage this activity but not be a barrier to that activity" discussion is reasonable and I think it would needlessly hobble the policy development process to arbitrarily rule anything that touches money to be business process.

Hi David, Fair point. I'll revise my comment to make it more high-level: I conditionally support this proposal on the condition that [it is matched with a] fee schedule such that the second and subsequent AS numbers assigned to a single organization each incur an additional [strike annual] fee.
