Jason -
My responses out-of-order to the questions (ignoring your answers)
2/3: I would be in support of policy that provided IANA with direction to
equally distribute the remaining 2-byte ASNs to the RIRs.
Once that has taken place, it can be left to the individual RIR to adapt
policy as they see fit.
1: If my memory serves, current ARIN (operational) policy is to "Offer 4-byte
first, when no preference is given, and offer a fall-back to 2-byte"
and if that is correct, I see no need to change this policy.

Subject: [arin-ppml] 2-byte and 4-byte ASNs
I wanted to summarize what I heard at the open mic and give the wider community
a chance to comment.
Questions:
1. Is it in the best interest of the Internet for ARIN to give out 2-byte ASNs
by default?
Should we use up the 2-byte ASNs, or try to conserve them for those who need
them?
2. Should an RIR be forced to burn through 2-byte ASNs in order to qualify to
get additional ASNs?
Should an RIR that has used all the 2-byte ASN be prevented from getting more
ASNs until their total utilization is higher from giving out more 4-byte ASNs?
3. There are just under 500 2-byte ASNs left in the IANA pool. Should the
RIRs each get 99 of these? Or should the next requestor take all of the 2-byte
ASNs and the balance of the block of 1024 in four-byte ASNs?
