I can't believe I'm taking this position now, but I guess it's 2023 so here we
are...
I don't agree that an IP broker *inherently* has a problematic conflict of
interest with ARIN, any more than every ARIN member on the AC has some degree
of inherent conflict of interest. Every AC member is an
public ASN?
Separately, I don’t see anything wrong with the modifications proposed in the
Staff Review – they seem sound, although I wish the full proposed rewritten
section had been included, in addition to the item-wise commentary.

#x27;m still on the make-accessing-services-easier side of things, not
on the apply-restrictions-to-make-it-harder side. I remain far more concerned
about the accuracy of ARIN's database(s) than I am about fraudulent use of
resources.

No. But it would be appropriate IMHO to adopt policies that very strongly
promote MANRS (or even a subset of it), and/or very strongly encourage ARIN

IMO any future returned 2-byte ASNs should be reserved for critical

IMO, 2-byte ASNs should simply be retired and not reallocated. "Solving the

Based on "the perfect is the enemy of the good", I figure it's worth going

If it turns out to be a disaster, the policy can be revised in... what's the

Much as mentioned in the policy
