According to ARIN policy, the maximum allocation size an organization can get 
is a /22 from the waitlist. Considering also that an organization can only have 
1 waitlist request at a time and how long it takes to get an allocation on that 
waitlist, I don't see a lot of incentive for a for-profit entity to do this, 
especially over and over.

I believe the waitlist parameters inhibit organizations do this for a money 
making scheme.

Also, since the IP market already exists, what if an organization who gets an 
allocation from the waitlist, changes its priorities after a few months and 
decides to lease that space to another org? They cannot by policy 4.1.8 
transfer that space to another organization for 60 months, unless they went 
through 8.2 rules which are about re-organizing/merging. Enacting a policy 
explicitly denying leasing after a waitlist fulfillment would be tying the 
hands of that organization and thus no-one benefits here.

I do not see a reason to add policy around leasing those IP addresses at this 
time.

Good morning PPML!

I would like community feedback on the leasing of ip space that is obtained 
from the waitlist.  Please let me know what you think and if a policy proposal 
would be warranted.

Thank you!

-Alison

Are you asking if an entity were to obtain IP space from the waitlist, should 
they be permitted to lease it to someone else? My answer is a resounding no. 
That defeats the whole purpose of the waitlist. Entities should not be 
encouraged to hoard IP space because ARIN will subsidise the cost, allowing a 
for-profit entity to make money from obtaining IP space.
