Does ARIN actually have policies that allow them to reclaim space for any reason other than non-payment of fees?

Hmmm, apparently they do, in section 12 of the NRPM. It looks pretty straightforward, that is to say it would be extremely difficult to wiggle around it.

That being the case, I would vote +1 for an amendment of the Waitlist agreement to incude a restriction on leasing during the same 60 months that the transfer restriction is in place. After all, a lease is just a "temporary transfer".

The problem is that some genuine market participants may be unable to afford the market rate, thus stifling potential market entry or innovation.

I am not necessarily against this idea as long as there are appropriate ways to preserve market entry for new entrants without. I am not necessarily saying this needs to be free; however, promoting competitiveness in space should be a factor. What I'd suggest we'd see is continued consolidation of IP resources. Quite frankly, if this model were adopted with no waitlist, it would not be surprising if a venture capital fund came in and just started buying IP space to reduce supply and control the price.

If that's what we want as a community, then so be it. *My recommendation is to eliminate IP leasing or transfer entirely for any space obtained from the waitlist.* If customers want a /24 or larger, they go to ARIN, get their own space, and go through the appropriate justification process. The ISP can then announce that IP space on their behalf.

If a member is not using their IP space for public routing for a period of time that ARIN should reclaim space in accordance with standard policies.

    +1
    And have it all publicly done, and reduce our fees with the money
    obtained.
