Maybe we need to put it in context..

We want to stop those companies that apply for space, 'rent it out' to spammers who want clean IP space, then call it 100% utilization, so they can apply for more space, all the time creating an asset base of IPs for investment purposes..

But we want the hosters that are growing with more legitimate customers, the ability to continue their growth..

The first party hides behind the label of 'leasing' when in reality it is a different beast completely, and is an attempt to 'game' the system to increase their IP portfolio, in a way that isn't constructive to the internet industry.

Leasing is not currently defined in the NRPM.  Perhaps we should define behavior that we wish to restrict in terms that are already defined or are less ambiguous in this community.

Perhaps replace the words "for lease" with "reassignment to another organization without direct network services"

Is leasing defined anywhere in the NRPM? How would this be enforced? Is the intent to disallow all reassignments? To get ARIN into the business of inspecting customer contracts and network configs to see if there is a bona fide connectivity relationship vs. a fig-leaf one? Something else?

Draft Policy ARIN-2023-3: Amendment of the waitlist agreement to include a restriction on leasing

Problem Statement:

Currently section 4.18 prohibits the transfer of waitlist space for a period of 60 months. However, there are no restrictions on leasing out the space immediately after obtaining it from the waitlist.

Policy statement:

Modify the current text in 4.18 from:

ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding 4.4 and 4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist. The maximum size aggregate that an organization may qualify for at any one time is a /22. Organizations will be able to elect a smaller block size than they qualify for down to a /24. Organizations which hold more than a /20 equivalent of IPv4 space in aggregate (exclusive of special use space received under section 4.4 or 4.10) are not eligible to apply. Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for transfer, with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for a period of 60 months. This policy will be applied to all future distributions from the waitlist to include those currently listed.
