Yes… But what assurance do we have that removal of needs basis would
somehow magically get more of these transfers recorded in whois?
Owen, I am not appealing to magic. I am applying basic business logic that I
think most people on the list understand. If you buy a real estate, you
generally want the deed published. Sure there are some who don’t, for one
reason or another, but the vast majority do want their ownership registered in
the authoritative list.
You think that offering someone lots of money for a transaction and asking
them to work with you on the recording date of the transaction with the
RIR is difficult? I don’t. I don’t think it would be hard at all.
Owen, there is no “someone”. There are tens of thousands of address rights
owners, with a constantly fluctuating amount of underutilized space which might
be for sale. From the perspective of one who is actively seeking out sellers,
the idea that you could not only find enough of them, but organize them
silently towards a massive single transactional event is laughable. Most of
the large holders are unsuprisingly large organizations. Getting them to march
together in this way for this purpose is inconceivable. But we can agree to
disagree on this likelihood while understanding that limiting needs-free
transfers to one small amount per year like a /20 would preclude this
eventuality.
Someone who doesn’t want their actions publicly known for a variety of
reasons. This happens all the time with hostile takeovers as was previously
noted.
Owen, nobody is denying that there are other reasons why people avoid
registration. No proposal on the table seeks to address those issues.
Regards,
Mike
