In short, no. In addition to the reasons listed in the justification 
section of 2007-01:

- the current system does not work well from the point of view of 
responsible internet stewardship

- depending on email communication as the only means of address management 
will promote resource hoarding once free ipv4 space runs out

- maintaining correct and accurate contact information on address holders 
is troublesome and costs money

- changing "must" to "may" means no change from the current position

Your argument appears to be "I just don't want to have to pay for address 
space", and nothing more.  This is neither a proper argument nor a 
sustainable position.

As the proposer of this policy change, I don't believe that you have 
provided any substantial justification for your opinions.

If you feel strongly about this, please feel free to either provide 
credible justification or else submit an alternative policy proposal.
