The following is a new policy proposal that has been posted to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List for discussion on that list.
Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Policy Proposal 114: RFC1918 as initial ISP multihomed criteria Date: Fri, 07 May 2010 12:28:27 -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.

Rationale: There are times when I've come across an ISP network in which either their, or one of their ISP clients access networks will fit the 4.2.2.2 requirements based on addresses, but they utilize RFC 1918 space with numerous layers of NAT, with only a very small block of public address space from their upstream(s). In that case, to qualify under the multi-homed policy, the ISP (and/or its clients) would first have to renumber out of the private space into an upstream space, and then renumber again after receiving the allocation from ARIN. This brief amendment would alleviate the double renumbering, and conserve the human resources required by all parties involved. Although I've considered ideas on how the use of RFC 1918 space could be justified to ARIN, I feel that this could be hashed out on the list if the intent of the proposal is accepted by the community.
