Back to the proposal. One point that's missed in the conversation is that we've rejected the inverse of this proposal, restricting out of region use, multiple times. This is exactly the same attempt with nothing more than confusing language. The "allow" is actually a set up to "deny", just like the previous attempts. "Flipping the script" into "allow" doesn't change anything. Instead, it creates unnecessary encumbrances to commerce which doesn't hurt any bad actors, it hurts us. Almost every requirement that the proposal makes is easily achieved by the staff using public resources. If the staff suspects that there is an issue with an applicant, ARIN _should_ use our money to flush it out. No policy proposal is needed for ARIN to validate who is a member or who is using our numbers. These are administrative issues that we should not be concerned with. I have never had any of the issues that the "proposal" seeks to resolve in justifying almost a /8 for global use including assigning numbers from ARIN to infrastructure in other regions. I expect that without this proposal I will continue to have no problem. If this proposal does get adopted as policy, I will still have no problem. I can assure you though, that small network operators will have a big problem. Best, -M<
