I oppose the policy requiring IPv6 implementation either as part of an IPv4
transfer or receipt of IPv4 on the waiting list. Others have correctly pointed
out that the policy will not have the desired effect of encouraging IPv6
adoption, but my main objection is that it's an attempt to coerce behavior that
should be voluntary - namely, the implementation of your preferred protocol.
In the spirit of consistency, I will offer that while I'm not a big fan of
IPv6, I also would oppose policy requiring IPv4 adoption in order to receive an
IPv6 allocation.

I believe this is some kind of political correctness way of dealing with
this topic. While many support the adoption of IPv6 and recognize the
critical need of it for the Internet ecosystem to continue work smoothly
and to avoid many conflicts that will arise otherwise, they don't seem
to want to offend others colleagues believing this will 'force' them to
deploy IPv6...
If there is any political correctness at play here, it's in the other
direction. Those who don't buy into the IPv6 religion keep a low profile and
often only express their views when others try and force adoption on them
through policy.
It was already mentioned in the previous discussions this forum has full
rights to establish how the registry is administered and the rules that
apply to transfers. There is nothing illegal on that and it's nothing
absurd or abrupt, so making this move is a little effort that
contributed to something that will happen in a way or another, more
smoothy if you choose to support this proposal or with pain if you do not.
Just because it's not illegal doesn't make it desirable. The less coercive
ARIN policy can be, the better. I'll take the pain. So far it's been
unnoticeable.
