Hi Chris,
Not sure how experienced you are with this, but this proposal has only been out
for a few hours and any talk about "keeping it alive" is a tad early.
Also, you might brush up on the concept of ad hominem. It means against the
person(s). It could be only brokers who support a policy and if there are no
valid objections, that support should carry the day.
Now, do you have any objections that you would care to share, other than your
original one (which I think Owen dispensed with)?
Regards,
Mike

You are not incorrect here - it takes two to tango, so to speak. And brokers
are an important segment of the ARIN community, to the extent that
representatives of IP brokers have been elected to the ARIN AC.
That said, one of the requirements for a Draft Policy to move forward to an RDP
is, per section 4.3:, "Changes to policy must be shown to have a strong level
of support in the community in order to be adopted.” Reading the replies to
this thread so far, the only community members that have voiced support for
this proposal have been representatives of IP brokers. Correct me if I’ve
missed any, but I see zero statements of support so far from members of any
other segment of the ARIN community.
I would be very surprised if the AC would advance to RDP a policy proposal that
has support of only one segment of the community, and as far as I can tell,
universal opposition from those who are not in that segment. If you are an
operator, ISP, or content provider who would benefit from this, I would
recommend that you speak up in order to keep this proposal alive.
Thanks,
-Chris
