Hi Isaiah,

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I don't think the proposal is not in 
accord with any provisions of the PDP.

We can agree to disagree on certain issues, but we agree on one thing, the last 
thing in your message.
"Regardless, I hope this policy will be amended to specify that leased 
addresses cannot be considered as justified need for waiting list requests."

I am in full agreement here, but I am not sure how best to word this.  ...

Mike  -

If that is a desired policy goal, then one possible way such a result could be 
achieved by the explicit definition of the term “operational need” and then 
referencing that term in the waiting list policy.   In this manner, 
generalization of LIR would not create ambiguities in application of waiting 
list issuance.

(I am certain there are many other ways to accomplish such a result, but 
provide the above as one possible approach in order to be responsive to your 
query and further discussion your policy goal.   Also note that parties 
purchasing rights to IP address blocks via specified transfers (NRPM 8.3 and 
8.4) must per NRPM 8.5 have “operational use” – i.e. any transfers of number 
resources must be solely for the purpose of use on an operational network – and 
so doing an overall definition of that term instead and adjusting references is 
also a possible if that aligns with your policy goal.)

Best wishes,
/John
