In light of this afternoon's discussion about simplification of the NPRM, I thought I'd dust off a post-exhaustion NRPM 4 simplification proposal I wrote a couple years ago. There are a lot of parts that need updating in light of more recent modifications (expect another email later), but there are a few that seem rather simple and uncontroversial. Can anyone think of any reason not to submit a proposal with all four of these? Anyone interested in (co-)authoring it?
1. Delete from 4.1.6 Aggregation the text that reads “ARIN may reserve space to maximize aggregation possibilities until the implementation of section 10.4.2.2, at which time” Rationale: remove inoperative text 2. Delete section 4.2.1.2 Annual Renewal. Rationale: Remove operational details (already covered by the RSA and ARIN procedures) from NRPM. 3. Delete section 4.2.2.1.1. Use of /24 Rationale: After exhaustion, many organizations can no longer get a /24 from their upstream ISP, and need to be able to get their initial allocation from ARIN. 4. Delete section 4.2.3.2. VLSM Rationale: VLSM and CIDR are now standard practice, and don’t need to be called out in NRPM. -Scott
