Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 101: Multihomed initial allocation criteria Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:34:09 -0400 From: Member Services <[email protected]> To: [email protected] ARIN received the following policy proposal and is posting it to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) in accordance with Policy Development Process. This proposal is in the first stage of the Policy Development Process. ARIN staff will perform the Clarity and Understanding step. Staff does not evaluate the proposal at this time, their goal is to make sure that they understand the proposal and believe the community will as well. Staff will report their results to the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) within 10 days. The AC will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the proposal and announce the decision to the PPML. In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on the proposal on the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Initial allocation criteria to the following: 4. 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 or, if multihomed, demonstrate the efficient utilization of a minimum contiguous or noncontiguous /44 (sixteen /48s) from an upstream. Rationale: The bar for obtaining initial IPv4 allocations is lower for those ISPs which are multi-homed, it stands to reason that it also be lower in IPv6. Since efficient utilization is based on the use of /48s, this policy would effectively allow any ISP with 15 active customers (with one /48 each and one /48 for the ISPs own network) to receive an initial allocation of an IPv6 /32 from ARIN. I think this is a better approach than removing or lowering the end-site assignment requirement for _all_ ISPs while still providing more open access to IPv6.
