Correct, but in the end I still have the apartment for very cheap, good enough for me.
If a squatter tries to use it, good chances are that community efforts, not ARIN because ARIN is not the police, will lead to me retaining the use of it.

I think the result should be simple, a .csv file containing an entry for each prefix transferred :
Date, size, price, origin RIR, resulting RIR.
Something like https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales but covering all transactions, not only ipv4.global ones.
Transparency on transfer prices.

What do you think about it ? a two-prong question :

- As yourself ? is it desirable for the community  in your opinion ?

- As AC member ? Does it have any chance to be approved by the AC ?

I would submit a proposal if it has some chances to pass; I don't want to lose the time of the AC if it's going to be deep-sixed right away.

Side question more towards John or the ARIN staff, how much work is that going to be to implement ?

Michel.
