I can't believe I'm taking this position now, but I guess it's 2023 so here we
are...
I don't agree that an IP broker *inherently* has a problematic conflict of
interest with ARIN, any more than every ARIN member on the AC has some degree
of inherent conflict of interest. Every AC member is
a public ASN?
Separately, I don’t see anything wrong with the modifications proposed in the
Staff Review – they seem sound, although I wish the full proposed rewritten
section had been included, in addition to the item-wise commentary.

Now that I look, RIPEstat tells me that someone from Russia *did* use those
addresses. (AS46640, since the data's public...)

many of them have behaved that way. And here we get into geopolitics again,

This makes sense to me.
However, the recent changes ARE still a step in the right direction. And they
may be enough to let me start using RPKI… that’s not 100% clear yet, a more

No. But it would be appropriate IMHO to adopt policies that very strongly
promote MANRS (or even a subset of it), and/or very strongly encourage ARIN
members/customers/clients to adopt MANRS, and/or discourage non-MANRS-compliant
number resource holders in some way.

IMO any future returned 2-byte ASNs should be reserved for critical
