Everything that is in the waiting list should be limited to a /22 per request.

There is no sense nor is reasonable now a days to fulfill a request to a /18 or even a /15 which is the case there.

Perhaps it can be adjusted at some point and more people can be more fairly served.

There are currently 246 entries on the waiting list that were there prior to the suspension.   Maybe some thought should go into allowing those organizations to get their requested minimum acceptable prefix size using the 500k addresses ARIN is reclaiming.  Anything that was added to the list after Feb 7 2019 ( the date the suspension was posted) would be subject to the new policy, whatever that may be.

    Approximately half of the address blocks that were received from
    the waiting list and subsequently transferreed are affiliated with
    MICFO entities.


That's a lot of addresses and a high percentage of all waiting list allocations.  The genesis of ARIN suspending the waiting list and requesting/recommending changes to it to prevent fraud was the appearance of  "likely fraud" based on the behavior of a small handful of bad actors robbing the waiting list of a large number of addresses.  Am I right to assume that there was really one bad actor (with a handful of bad aliases)?

Obviously ARIN cannot state with certainty that there is no other fraud on the list, but if Micfo and its entities had never done what they did, would ARIN have even seen a problem with the waiting list?

If virtually all this misbehavior was this one guy, and he's been stopped, do we still want to change the waiting list system and hurt the overwhelming majority of honest players?

    The entire waiting list is available here -

Thanks, John.  I was looking for totals but the list was easy enough to import into a spreadsheet and tally up.  By my count the space being requested totals to roughly 825K addresses, and about 775K is the "minimum acceptable size" total.  The 500K addresses ARIN is reclaiming will go a long way in satisfying that demand.

Are any of the existing waiting list requests from Micfo entities or have those already been scrubbed?



    Thanks!
