Owen - Could you elaborate your thoughts regarding the harm that might occur? I believe that folks understand risks associated with sudden/unexpected IPv4 free pool depletion, but you are suggesting that liquidity itself in the IPv4 transfer market is harmful. As that is neither obvious nor aligned with most market theory, it would be best for you to elaborate your thoughts some on that aspect.
