Please be advised that the following policy proposal has been posted to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List. All discussion of the proposal must take place on the PPML.
Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ## * ## Policy Proposal Name: Open Access To IPv6 Proposal Originator: Stacy Hughes and Cathy Aronson Proposal Version: 1.0 Date: 29 May 2009 Proposal type: modify Policy term: permanent Policy statement: 1) Remove “by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation” from article 3 of section 6.5.1.1 2) Remove article 4 of section 6.5.1.1, “be an existing, known ISP in the ARIN region or have a plan for making at least 200 end-site assignments to other organizations within 5 years” in its entirety. Rationale: It is acknowledged that these concepts have been put before the community in the past. However, with the wisdom of actual operational experience, the necessity of promoting IPv6 adoption throughout our region, and emerging native v6 only network models, it becomes obvious that these modifications to the NRPM are necessary. Removing the 200 end site requirement enables smaller, but no less important and viable, networks access to IPv6. Removing the ‘known ISP’ requirement enfranchises new, native v6 businesses that can drive innovation and expansion in the Internet industry, as well as other industries. Removing the requirement for a single aggregate announcement benefits the NRPM itself, as it has been decided by the community that it should not contain routing advice. Timetable for implementation: immediately upon BoT ratification _______________________________________________ ARIN-Announce You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Announce Mailing List ([email protected]).
