I have been attempting to follow up on your suggestion to poll the community, but we seem to have reached an impasse because ARIN is keeping the registry accurate and your formulation would suggest otherwise. Hence, my attempt at a more balanced phrasing, i.e. that we should "survey the ARIN community regarding the prioritization of needs-based transfers vs operational usefulness of registry data." If we can come up with acceptable language, we'll figure out how to poll the ARIN community on this topic. How about polling resource holders instead? A much larger audience. It's possible, although we also need to always use caution when reaching out via the Whois contact information, since there is significant variation in what folks think of as "spam", even if related to the registry itself. One possibility is to poll 'known' resource holders; this is a community which is greater than ARIN Members, in that it includes those who have an ARIN online account for managing their resources (note that legacy address holders can get such accounts and update contact info without entry into an RSA/LRSA) In this manner, we can be certain to get an actual known population, but still making it possible for any resource holder to participate. Thoughts? /John
