send the following to last call:
Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2013-7: NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup
2013-7 was revised. The following sentence was added to 4.2.4.3:
"Determination of the appropriate allocation to be issued is based on
efficient utilization of space within this time frame, consistent with
the principles in 4.2.1."
Feedback is encouraged during the last call period. All comments should
be provided to the Public Policy Mailing List. This last call will

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2013-7
NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup
Date: 16 May 2014
AC's assessment of conformance with the Principles of Internet Number
Resource Policy:
"ARIN-2013-7: "NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup" enables fair and impartial
number resource administration by removing no-longer-relevant sections
of the NRPM, and clarifying other sections. All of the remaining changes
in this draft policy have proven uncontroversial thus far."
Problem Statement: Parts of NRPM 4 are irrelevant, especially after IPv4
run-out, and should be cleaned up for clarity.
Policy statement:
Short list of changes with details explained below.
Remove section 4.1.1 Routability
Update section 4.1.5 Determination of resource requests
Remove section 4.1.7 RFC2050
Remove section 4.1.9 Returned IPv4 Addresses
Replace and retitle section 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year
Remove section 4.2.4.4. Subscriber Members After One Year
Details:
Remove section 4.1.1 Routability
It is no longer necessary for the NRPM to suggest where an organization
obtains resources from.
Retitle and rewrite section (4.1.5 Determination of IP address
allocation size)
Remove: "Determination of IP address allocation size is the
responsibility of ARIN."
Replace with: (4.1.5 Resource request size) "Determining the validity of
the amount of requested IP address resources is the responsibility of ARIN."
Rationale: Clarify that it is the validity of the request that is more
the focus than the amount of resources requested. This does not prevent
ARIN from suggesting that a smaller block would be justified where a
larger one would not, but also does not suggest that it is ARIN's sole
discretion to judge the size of the blocks needed.
Remove section 4.1.7 RFC2050
Now that RFC2050 has been replaced with RFC 7020 and ARIN-2013-4 RIR
Principles has been adopted, this section is no longer needed.
Remove section 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year and
4.2.4.4. Subscriber Members After One Year
Replace with: (4.2.4.3 Request size) "ISPs may request up to a 3-month
supply of IPv4 addresses from ARIN, or a 24-month supply via 8.3 or 8.4
transfer. Determination of the appropriate allocation to be issued is
based on efficient utilization of space within this time frame,
consistent with the principles in 4.2.1."
Rationale: Since ARIN received its last /8, by IANA implementing section
10.4.2.2, this is now a distinction without a difference.
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
