Hi Bill, We consider ARIN policy to be at fault and are seeking community consensus to change that policy, Do you have a problem with that approach?
----Of course you do and did I not grant in my post that this back and forth WAS the policy development process engaged? I have supported that process for many years and believe it IS the way things must be done. And, I understand that you are seeking community consensus in that discussion....I just note that there seems to be little support to change the policy in the ARIN region. I know that what this back and forth is about....policy discussion and development....to see whether the community has had a see change...but what I see is that a few people who want it their way...continue to flame the status quo for maintaining its focus...to my mind...where it still should be. Scare resource? Given them to people who NEED them. If the community should be outrage about something, it should be those who contribute to the weakness of he database, not those who's stewardship has not failed. bd Bill, nobody is *giving* addresses to anybody, regardless of their NEEDS, so you can disabuse yourself of that pie-eyed notion. And what is flaming the status quo? Way to encourage participation. I suppose it’s better to leave the community in their repose of silent focus. --- you are correct, nobody gives addresses away. Needs-based allocation or transfer, I submit is likely to cost those receiving addresses less overall. Still, there is a financial burden either way. 'Repose of silent focus'. I daresay that the community has been quite vocal in their creation and support of the status quo. And as far as participation goes, I only wish that every constituent with the ARIN community would come out and have their say..one time...about this issue whichever way they choose. See, I'm for consensus either way because I do believe in the process. Let’s cut out the stewardship failed nonsense, you are accusing both RIPE and APNIC communities of failed stewardship because their opinion doesn’t match your personal one. --- notice that my comment was not about 'failed stewardship', but the lack thereof on ARIN's part....my belief that needs-based allocations are proper stewardship for ARIN in no way disparages the RIPE and APNIC communities for their policies. There are 5 RIRs so that the local community can decide for themselves what policies should exist in their respective communities. So please don't attribute those accusations to me. As I said above, I have my opinion, but it is the consensus of the community that counts. I'd hope that everyone feels the same. bd On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 12:14 PM, Mike Burns <[email protected]> wrote: > > "Use of the registry database for policy enforcement is not supportive > of the primary reason for the existence of the registry system (there is a > reason it's called a "registry").
