Maybe the conversation should be: "What actions does the community wish
to take when Microsoft tries to scam the system?"

We had a discussion today at NANOG in the ARIN PPC about needs-basis
in 8.3 transfers.
I'd like to state the following, and then let's see where the
discussion takes us:
My team runs an AS. And yep, we're a pretty big company. We rely on
IPv4 today for most of our numbering, and will continue to do so for
the next couple of years.[1] In the coming year, when we can't get
space from ARIN or other RIRs, we have to turn to the market for our
IP address needs. We may choose to buy more than a 2 year supply,
because it may make business sense for us to do so. ARIN policy,
however, only allows us to take the IP addresses we buy and transfer
the portion which represents a 2 year need. The rest will remain in
the name of whoever sold the IP addresses to us.
Why is this result good for the operator community? Wouldn't it be
better if ARIN rules allowed us to transfer into our name all the IP
addresses which we now own?

[1] We're working on increasing IPv6 presence in our network and our
products, but large corporations move slowly ;)
