I was asking wrt "all of the above". So yes, with respect to pre-ARIN IPv4 depletion, post-ARIN IPv4 depletion, free pool IPv4 address space, IPv4 transfers, IPv6 free pool.
I think what Michael was getting at is can we simply express our views on the simple binary question. I think you correctly point out it is not a simple binary question. I was attempting to rephrase the question and keep it simple and get at the essence of the thing people keep arguing about, and come up with a laundry list of the types of answers (A-F). Answer A and E are essentially the same pre-ARIN depletion, but diverge post-ARIN depletion. In my mind, if one believes needs based is fair for ARIN allocations / assignments, but is not fair for transfers because simple market factors are more fair (even per-ARIN depletion) then this fell into the category F "No, there is a better mechanism that is "more fair" we should switch to that immediately." Maybe that is limited thinking on my part. I have inserted a bucket J between E and F (because I think that is where it falls in the spectrum). A. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have. B. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have until something better comes along. C. Yes, I'm not sure this is the most fair, but it has been the rules of the game, and doesn't seem right to change the rules so close to the finish line (especially when people's IPv6 adoption plans are depending on it). D. Yes, but there is a specific problem that results in some class being treated unfairly, so a tweak or two is required. E. Yes, but a needs test only makes sense when addresses can be acquired unrestricted or with flat or tiered pricing or even per low priced IP address pricing. In a limited market, price is the most efficient and most fair mechanism. J. Yes, keep measuring justified need as we always have for ARIN allocations and assignments because this is the most fair mechanism when there are no market factors in place, but use only market factors for transfer as this is more fair (but sadly can only work for transfers). F. No, there is a better mechanism that is "more fair" we should switch to that immediately. G. Its not justified need isn't fair, but rather the fact that there are a class of users whose justified need will not be fulfilled, such as individuals (not an organization) or organizations that need only a small amount of addressing (less than a /24 which is the arbitrary limit for inetr-AS routing to keep tables small). H. Unrelated... while the current needs based justification is fair, the process is difficult and the end result favors large organizations, those who are growing rapidly (and thus repeated ask for space), those with a dedicated IP management team, those with a dedicated legal team... The process (not the policy) is unfair. My hope was to create a bunch of useful buckets, and see where people stand. These are the loose buckets as I see them based on the part of the conversation I have heard and understood. Certainly I have missed some. __Jason On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 2:41 PM, John Curran <[email protected]> wrote: > Jason - > > Are you asking with respect to new issuance from the IPv4 free pool, or > with respect to IPv4 transfers, or both?
