Hi Bill and John, Thank you for the thoughtful responses. As a purely process note, please allow me to point out that what we have here, ARIN-prop-204, is merely a policy proposal. I will do my best to answer comments and questions posed inline, but they appear to relate to later steps in the

How would we go about assessing whether such changes prove harmful or helpful? What metrics does ARIN collect under this policy which can be analyzed and presented here so we can consider expanding it to larger transfers? Does no justification mean no documentation? What makes you think /16 is

Marty, Are you suggesting the whole idea of removing needs testing from small IPv4 transfers would be a massive abuse vector? Or; Do you mean only John's suggestion of a presumption of good faith for small allocations would be a massive abuse vector? Thanks. On 4/30/14, 17:19 , Martin Han

John - If you apply for number resources today and make fraudulent statements to support your request, the resources obtained are subject to reclamation. Generally, this is when supporting material/representations were later found to be factually incorrect. If ARIN were to simpl

I agree with Bill. It might be appropriate to drop needs testing for small allocations simply because it is not worth the effort, but I don't see a /16 as being small. Something in the range of /24 to /20 would be better. Another idea to ponder would be instead of dropping the need requirement,

In general, I think removing needs basis is an utterly bad idea. However, if we were to do a 1 year trial at /20, to gather data and evaluate the actual impacts of such a policy, I would consider that acceptable. + Does it actually lead to increased whois accuracy as proclaimed by
