Ernie - ARIN doesn't have a view on how people should think. It=20
does have an interest in making sure that number resources policies
that are adopted by community are followed.

Specified Transfer Listing Service (STLS) is a service, not=20
a policy. You don't need to use the STLS to make use of the=20
Specified Transfer policy. =20
The Specified Transfer policy lets parties to free up address=20
space (that might not otherwise be available) and then arrange
transfer to another party. Given that a lot of IPv4 address=20
space may be readily available given a little work to renumber,
it was felt to be a reasonable compromise in encouraging better
utilization once we've run out of the IP4 free pool. Parties=20
which receive under the specified transfer policy still must meet
all of the normal address allocation requirements, including
documented need.
