Thank you, John.
I proposed this policy change and support it.
As has been pointed out, nothing changes upon exhaust that would affect the
problems presented here.
If you are not multihomed, whether we have exhausted or not, you can not
acquire these addresses through the transfer market.
For those "corner cases" this is the answer.
Although the problem statement reflects the increase in ARIN ticket response
time discussed in Chicago, there are obviously other problems which this
proposal seeks to ameliorate.
Regards,
Mike Burns

IPv4Transfers (fwd)
Hi All,
The following timely policy proposal is presented for your consideration,
discussion and comment. Will you please comment?
As always, expressions of support or opposition (and their reasons) are
given slightly more weight than reasons why you might be in neither
condition.

ARIN-prop-204 Removing Needs Test from Small IPv4 Transfers
Date: 16 April 2014
Problem Statement:
ARIN staff, faced with a surge in near-exhaust allocations and subsequent
transfer requests and a requirement for team review of these, is spending
scarce staff time on needs testing of small transfers. This proposal seeks
to decrease overall ARIN processing time through elimination of that needs
test.
Policy statement:
Change the language in NRPM 8.3 after Conditions on the recipient of the
transfer: from "The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a
24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and
sign an RSA." to "For transfers larger than a /16 equivalent, the
recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP
address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA."
Change the language in the third bullet point in NRPM 8.4 after Conditions
on the recipient of the transfer: from "Recipients within the ARIN region
must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IPv4 address
space." to "For transfers larger than a /16 equivalent, recipients in the
ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP
address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA."
Comments:
Needs testing has been maintained for transfers largely because the
community wishes to ensure protection against hoarding and speculation in
the IPv4 market. This proposal seeks a middle ground between the
elimination of needs tests for transfers altogether, and the continuance
of needs tests for every transfer. This should help ARIN staff to reduce
transfer processing time, since most transfers have been smaller than /16.
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
