[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 New Draft Document and ImpactAnalysis Published (No Need - Post-Depletion Reality Adjustment and Cleanup)

John,

You know I am the author of the current ARIN transfer policy.
Why clutter the RIPE list with this nonsense?

I voiced my support of 2013-03 and addressed the counter-argument related to 
inter-regional transfers.
This will end my replies.

Regards,
Mike

Mike -

  It's probably best to address those in the community interested in ARIN 
policy
  (i.e. "policymakers at ARIN") via the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List 
(ppml);
  that's where policy-related ideas and issues surrounding ARIN policies are
  discussed by the community, and hence where such notice should be made.

  To submit a policy proposal for discussion, please follow the directions 
here -
    <https://www.arin.net/participate/how_to_participate.html>
  (Any folks in the RIPE community interested in such discussions are quite 
welcome
  to participate on the ppml mailing list.)

Thanks!
/John
