I remain opposed to this proposal for different reasons. Reducing the
allocation from /22 to /24 will not solve any tangible problem. Instead
will create a new one as /24 is so small even for the smaller
organizations that are waiting in order to use it properly to connect
people and businesses. It is necessary to guarantee that whoever
receives in such scenario has a bare minimal to do things and /22 is
already something very small.
This allows organizations to exist, innovate and then at some point in
time be able to transfer further blocks in order to keep doing business.
It may sound the proposal be aiming to reduce anxiety from having to
wait too long in the waiting list, but the reality is that there aren't
IP addresses left to to replenish the pool and there is no much that can
be done about that. That is a fact for quiet a while.
What I would support in another proposal is to reduce the eligibility
criteria to stand in the waiting list to simply have already any IPv4
allocation regardless the size. There is a big significant difference
between one who has addresses already and newer one who have nothing.
Whatever left can go to them and will benefit the Internet in the region
by having more and different actors and business happening. Those who
have something have options to continue and grow their existing business.

Policy Statement:
4.1.8. ARIN Waitlist
ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding 4.4 and
4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist.
Strange formulation since ARIN issues transferred IP addresses to the recipient.
Organizations which ever held any IPv4 space other than special use space
received under section 4.4 or 4.10 are not eligible to apply.
Bad grammar. Which ever held? Even if you fix it to "which have ever
held," it's still a clumsy sentence.
And why exclude 4.4 and 4.10? Are there an abundance of critical
infrastructure providers who don't have other IPv4 space, can't afford
to get it on the market, yet have the time to dilly dally on the
waitlist? Doesn't seem like such infrastructure is particularly
critical.
Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for transfer,
with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for a period of 60 months.
So if I create an LLC to hold the addresses I can sell the LLC to get
around the transfer restriction? I mean, I could do that anyway but
with this exception the recipient wouldn't even have to maintain the
LLC.
This policy will be applied to all future distributions from the waitlist to
include those currently listed.
Bad grammar. What does "to include" mean here?
This policy will apply to waitlist requests received following the
implementation of this policy. Waitlist requests received prior to
the implementation of this policy will not be affected.
This seems to conflict with the preceding text about it being applied
to all future distributions?
