ARIN posted a message which some might have missed among the policy discussions going on the public policy mailing list (PPML).

ARIN Community –

Several folks have asked for more statistics regarding specified transfer
request processing.  While we are looking into options for producing such
information via automation, we have manually reviewed the past tickets to collect the following information:

In 2011, there was a total of 24 Specified Transfers (NRPM 8.3) requested.  
Below is the current status:

Total 8.3 transfers          24
Approved                          15
Pending/Abandoned      8
Denied                               1  (request was actually for simple reassignment)

In 2012 through July, there were a total of 19 Specified Transfers (NRPM 8.3) requested. Below is the current status.

Total of 8.3 transfers     18
Approved                          12
Pending/Abandoned      5
Denied                               1  (duplicate ticket)

Note that “Pending/Abandoned” is a request which lacks sufficient information from the requestor to process.  These may be still be in progress, or approved to transfer a lessor amount than requested and then not further pursued by the requestor.  Note also that some transfer requestors later return with a fully qualified recipient so that the address block may later be an approved transfer to another party in these statistics.
