The point of 8.5.2 is to clarify that the community believes that IPv4
addresses are to be used on operational networks, not as resources to be
held for some other purpose (e.g. financial speculation). We ask that
an officer of the organization to attest to ensure that the organization
understands the nature of the transaction and doesn't commit its $ in
support of other goals. I believe having it in section 8 helps
organizations clearly understand the requirements for transfer. (e.g.
They don't have to hunt around in other sections for other
requirements.) I, personally, believe that the base requirement for any
transfer is that the organization intend to use it on an operational
network.
Only concern I have, is that it has no real teeth.. You can always
'make' it operational, we have seen recent allotments simply rented out
to spammers who want virgin IP space.. boom.. now it is used/operational
But it is a slippery slope... question is, does the community want to
declare what 'operational' means? Do we get into the conversation of
what IP(s) should be used for?
And no use putting a definition in, unless the community and ARIN and
it's board are willing to commit to enforcement..
Opinion is that this doesn't really 'clarify' in any meaningful way..
I think 8.5.2 needs to be more black or white, and not really a vague
'opinion' declaration..
Either it is definite, and has teeth, or no need to add it at all.
IMHO
Definition: Operational ???
