David - I didn't say that "the practice of creating a company to hold IP addresses then selling that company to another organization" was considered fraudulent by ARIN. I asked that you please report such cases, as depending on the specific circumstances they are *potentially* fraudulent. > Speaking personally (of course), I'll admit a certain lack of comfort with > the idea of ARIN (or any RIR) acting as lawmaker, police, judge, jury, and > (assuming RPKI gets deployed) executioner. As a member of the community, you are free to propose changes to or elimination of the policies in the NRPM which you are not comfortable with; I expect that you will find them in sections 8 and 12. The policy development role is open to the community, but specifically not the ARIN Board and Staff, so there is perhaps a little more separation present than your email suggests. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
