Ronald -
I don't think this proposal is relevant in any way to your situation.
You said: "I have been leasing a pair of static IPv4 addresses from my
connectivity providers for lo these many years now, ..."
The proposal specifically relates to leasing IP addresses to recipients
who are NOT receiving connectivity from the lessor.
It is, as far as I know, perfectly normal for an ISP to provide
addresses to its customers. Depending on the service agreement, they
might provide a single IP address or a block of any size, and might
provide a dynamic address (very common with dialup providers, not so
common now with DSL and always-on T1 or cable or fiber connections), or
static addresses. They might permanently allocate an address or block
of addresses to the customer (so the customer can advertise those
addresses via DNS or otherwise), or they might be effectively static
(unlikely to change), but with no promise of that from the ISP. AFAIK,
all these are standard practices in conformance with ARIN policy and
unaffected by the proposed changes.

P.S. I'm sure someone will jump in if I'm wrong about any of these points...

I do not agree that legitimizing leasing as such increases accessibility to

I personally have no position on the proposal under discussion.
I am only posting to say that I have been leasing a pair of static IPv4
addresses from my connectivity providers for lo these many years now,
and that thus, I am more than a little chagrined to learn now, at this
late date, that what I and my provider have been doing all this time is
in some way illegitimate.
