Mike,
Yes and no. I believe that the lack of legacy holders for any blocks issued
under 4.1.8 reduces the need for the market.
Defunct organizations can easily be reclaimed in this space because they stop
paying their ARIN bill.
Eliminating the resale value of these addresses won’t really
The percentages of blocks transferred takes a significant leap at the /19
size.
Below that, the percentages are all below 7%.
At /19 and above, the percentages are all above 21%.
Seems like a natural demarcation for maximum block size, but prices do
continue to rise.
While we want to fight
Yeah, if someone is leasing IP addresses means that he (the resource
holder) doesn't have use for them anymore. As such ARIN (or any other
RIR) should recover those addresses then. IP addresses were never made
of thought to be leased in this way as asset that can be leased.

Hi John,
Thanks for sharing. I'd like to note that it can be dangerous to use the blocks
transferred via 8.2/8.3/9.4 as a metric for abuse. A fraudster that gets past
ARIN's scrutiny and obtains IPs with fraudulent information is probably smart
enough to lease their IPs as opposed to selling

if we're putting a /22 or /21 limit on waitlists and the transfer rates are
this low, I am fine not requiring IP blocks to go back to ARIN.
I think
It's very interesting to see that the larger the blocks are, by in large, the
most likely to be transferred. To me, that seems suspect.
Thanks for sharing.

Folks -
It occurred to me that it might be useful to have a quick summary of waiting
list blocks issued and subsequently transferred.
Attached is the distribution (count per prefix size) of all blocks that have
been issued via ARIN's waiting list policy and subsequently transferred via
NRPM
