So far there has been very little discussion on this policy.
Therefore, as one of the AC shepherds for this policy I would like to
initiate some discussion of this policy. Here are a few questions for
the ARIN community to think about and provide feedback on;
- The current CI reservation is for all CI not just IXPs, the problem
statement discusses growth primarily in the IXPs as justification to
expand the reservation. Should we split off a separate reservation pool
for IXPs? Or, keep the current common CI pool?
- ARIN-2011-4 the policy that made the original CI reservation had a
Policy Term of 36 Months following implementation, but this was not in
the policy text itself and therefore did not get included in the NRPM.

If applicable, this would have expired July 2014. So, should there be
expiration date included in this policy text? If there should be no
expiration date, should we explicitly note the removal of any expiration
date in the discussion of this policy?
- There was discussion of smaller and larger than /24 IXP allocations,
like /26 on the smaller side and that some very large IXPs are starting
to need as large as a /22. Also discussed was, sparse allocation for
IXPs to allow expansion without renumbering. Should this policy
includes any changes along these lines? Why or why not?
- Should we try to get this to the PPC at NANOG 63 in San Antonio as a
Recommended Draft Policy? Or should it wait go to the PPM at ARIN 35 in
San Francisco as a Recommended Draft Policy? What about ARIN free pool
run-out timing?
Do you support the policy as written, if not are there any changes that
could be made that would allow you to support the policy?
Thanks.

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-21
Modification to CI Pool Size per Section 4.4
Date: 25 November 2014
Problem Statement:
At the time that this section of policy was written, IXP growth in North
America was stagnant. Efforts of late have increased significantly
within the IXP standards and other communities to improve critical
infrastructure in North America. This effort is paying dividends and we
project that a /16 will not be enough to continue to improve global
interconnect conditions and support needed IXP CI infrastructure.
Policy statement:
Change to text in section 4.4 Micro Allocations:
Current text:
ARIN will place an equivalent of a /16 of IPv4 address space in a
reserve for Critical Infrastructure, as defined in section 4.4. If at
the end of the policy term there is unused address space remaining in
this pool, ARIN staff is authorized to utilize this space in a manner
consistent with community expectations.
Proposed text to replace current text entirely:
ARIN will place an equivalent of a /15 of IPv4 address space in a
reserve for Critical Infrastructure, as defined in section 4.4.
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
