Greetings PPML readers,
Draft Policy ARIN-2014-4: REMOVE 4.2.5 WEB HOSTING POLICY will be discussed
next week during the Public Policy Consultation at NANOG 60 in Atlanta. This
Consultation will take place on Tuesday from 9:30AM to 13:00PM in the Augusta
Room.
Comments are invited and welcome both here and there. The text of the Draft
Policy is below my comments, which follow.
Comments (and questions) from me:
Firstly, do you support or oppose Draft Policy 2014-4?
This Draft Policy is functionally identical to the last bullet item of Draft
Policy 2013-7 - NRPM 4 (IPv4) policy cleanup, which also will be presented
next week. The author of this Draft Policy is aware of this overlap and
"would like it submitted and considered entirely separately". One aspect of
this situation is that the precursors of 2013-7 have attracted energetic
comment. Adoption of 2014-4 separately would decouple this issue (2014-4)
from the other parts of 2013-7 and its adoption or rejection. What do you
think?
While the policy text of both proposals is functionally identical ("Remove
section 4.2.5 Web Hosting Policy" in 2013-7 and "Remove section 4.2.5" in
2014-4), the problem statements differ. 2013-7 says, "Since ARIN received its
last /8, by IANA implementing section 10.4.2.2, this is now a distinction
without a difference."
The correct problem statement for 2013-7 is "This information-gathering
policy has been in place for a decade now with no resulting policy
changes, and is no longer needed in light of IPv4 runout."
2014-4 says "Section 4.2.5 is technology-specific
language that is not current with modern network operation needs and
practices. We should remove it to make NRPM clearer." Both appear to be
correct and sufficient. Which do you prefer and why? If neither, and you
support 2014-4, can you please suggest text? Since both are Draft Policy, an
opportunity exists for the AC to amend the problem statements so the two are
congruent.
It has been suggested that this Draft Policy is without operational impact,
being purely a house cleaning matter. Do you agree? If not, what operational
relevance do you see?
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
