Randy,
Such a process creates a back-door requirement that participating
registries race to the bottom eliminating eligibility requirements for
address recipients. Failure to do so leaves their own registrants at
an unfair disadvantage when trying to get addresses. The approach is,
unfortunately, more simpleminded than it is simple.
But really this discussion belongs on the ARIN PPML where your input
would be most welcome.
