Hi John,
That RFC 2050 stuff is just FUD.
I was saying that Plzak declared in court that ARIN's policies did not apply
to legacy space. But you have said that they do.
On the other hand, RIPE ERX has been transferable without need because of
its legacy status.
The statement you extracted was tangential and distracting to the
needs-based discussion. It was made simply in the context of demonstrating
that such a needs-free market has existed for some time without evidence of
speculation.
If I were to re-write it, I would leave you out, since I am guilty of the
same distraction.
Regards,
Mike

Mike -
Your statement is factually incorrect in multiple ways; you probably are
unaware
that adherence to the needs-based assignment criteria for purpose of
transfers
actually originates in RFC 2050 ("INTERNET REGISTRY IP ALLOCATION
GUIDELINES"),
dated November 1996 (and before my involvement in the Internet registry
system.)
The document authors are staff from RIPE, APNIC, and InterNIC and assert it
to be
an accurate representation of the current practice of the IP address
registries
at that time. From <http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2050.txt> -
" 7. The transfer of IP addresses from one party to another must be
approved by the regional registries. The party trying to obtain
the IP address must meet the same criteria as if they were
requesting an IP address directly from the IR."
When the ARIN community developed an explicit transfer policy, the more
recent
community set policy took precedence. The needs-based requirements in NRPM
8.3
remain in place because the ARIN community has not seen to remove them; i.e.
they are under the control of this community via the policy development
process
and that has little to do with the staff or Board views on this matter.
FYI,
