I'm currently in the process of working to establish what the New
Zealand Internet community thinks about the issue of IP Address
leasing.

One question which came up was around leasing and needs based allocation.

So a question for the secretariat.
Would leasing of IP addresses be considered a valid 'need' under
current allocation policy.

As an example.  If a new APNIC member were to apply for their /22 from
103/8 and the justification was "I need 1024 addresses which I intend
to lease on a per monthly basis to other users", would that be
sufficient justification under current policy?


Thanks
Regards,
Dean
