You are not incorrect here - it takes two to tango, so to speak. And brokers are an important segment of the ARIN community, to the extent that representatives of IP brokers have been elected to the ARIN AC. That said, one of the requirements for a Draft Policy to move forward to an RDP is, per section 4.3:, "Changes to policy must be shown to have a strong level of support in the community in order to be adopted.” Reading the replies to this thread so far, the only community members that have voiced support for this proposal have been representatives of IP brokers. Correct me if I’ve missed any, but I see zero statements of support so far from members of any other segment of the ARIN community. I would be very surprised if the AC would advance to RDP a policy proposal that has support of only one segment of the community, and as far as I can tell, universal opposition from those who are not in that segment. If you are an operator, ISP, or content provider who would benefit from this, I would recommend that you speak up in order to keep this proposal alive.
