I am highly confused now. We have the 25% utilization check which really is the only verifiable check to rate-limit aggressively optimistic requests. On one hand, ARIN does not check this figure. As such the policy change is a no-op. On the other hand the 25% utilization goal remains part of the policy and having no intention of complying is fraud. ARIN could make random checks, or check all of them. ... Jason - Are you referring to assignments or transfers? The above discussion appears to mix requests of both types. ARIN does check that end-user _assignment_ requests meet the 25% immediate utilization requirement (as called for in the end-user assignment policy.) ARIN does not have clear guidance how the assignment criteria for 25% immediate use is to be applied to transfers. ARIN can apply the criteria with respect to transfer requests, but that would require some additional policy clarity from the community to do so. So in that respect the policy change is not a no-op. The policy change will not materially affected transfer requests, as noted above. The change would effect processing of any end-user assignments requests. (It is probably worth noting that end-users who presently qualify for assignment of an IPv4 block are being added to a waiting list with a rather low probability of timely fulfillment.)
