Hi Mike, I would suggest that if you really want to lease addresses without infrastructure there are lawful and compliant ways to do so without change to ARIN policy. For example: The broker and user of the addresses might form a legal partnership. The address user would have the right to terminate its participation in the partnership comparable to a lessor's terms for ending a lease. The broker would have the right, upon termination of the partnership, to resell the numbers compliant with ARIN rules and would retain the proceeds of such sale. Finally the partnership, including both the practicing user and the purchasing broker, would request addresses through ARIN and, upon approval, purchase them on the open market. Because the partnership is, in fact, deploying a network which uses the addresses, such a use is compliant with ARIN policy. While more complicated than a simple lease agreement, such a process would assure compliance with the community's then-extant number policies. In particular, the actual user of the addresses would be evaluated by ARIN and would have to qualify. Even were I to find such "leasing" objectionable, I would have no cause for objection under current ARIN policy. I note that once the initial template development is complete, instancing such legal partnerships is of trivial cost.
