Bill, You are absolutely correct. But...
The ARIN experience report suggested that some times the seller is uncomfortable using IP space that is not registered to them, without an assurance that the future transfer will be approved when at the current time, they are not approved (as they are still holding the block they intend to sell). The catch 22 is they can't get the assurance they need that they will be able to get approval to transfer in a /24 before they commit to transfer out the block they are selling. We all know that in this example the utilization is sufficient to justify a /24 and that they will be (pre-)approved for a transfer in of a /24 once they no longer hold the /16. But the organization would like some greater assurance of this. It was suggested that if ARIN provided that assurance then the risk to the seller would be sufficiently reduced and more sellers would be willing to enter the market. __Jason On Fri, May 6, 2016 at 5:18 PM, William Herrin <[email protected]> wrote: > > On May 5, 2016, at 13:09 , Jason Schiller <[email protected]> wrote: > > ARIN: based on your current utilization you are pre-approved to transfer > a > > /24 > > on the condition that no longer hold the /16 and your utilization as > > reported > > remains unchanged. > > Hi Jason, > > At the moment, the org could "buy" the /24 with the provision that > they'll take possession, update POCs and announce it via BGP > immediately but the seller will hold the registration until ARIN > transfer is approved.
