Steve, As a legacy resource holder (we have a /24 assigned in 1991), I've been following this list for quite a while. Mostly I follow it silently, but on occasion I spout off.
I am generally in favor of the justification requirements for all IPv4 allocations/assignments although I haven't actually had to justify an IPv4 request under the current policies so I don't know how difficult the process really is. I do know that know that justifying an ASN assignment earlier this year was pretty easy. (does that mean that I no longer fit into "members of the community that only hold legacy allocations"?)

I think the legacy community is speaking volumes by not participating by commenting in this forum. Thanks.

ARIN’s Mission is to Advance the Internet, not to stifle it. While there is clearly support by some for your position advocating needless number allocations, the majority of the community supports a review to insure that the allocations are actually advancing the Internet, and not just throwing numbers around to whomever asks, whatever their plans (or lack thereof). _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
