Draft Policy ARIN-2016-1
Reserved Pool Transfer Policy
Date: 22 March 2016
Problem Statement:
Section 8 of the current NRPM does not distinguish between the transfer
of blocks from addresses that have been reserved for specific uses and
other addresses that can be transferred. In sections 4.4 and 4.10 there
are specific address blocks set aside, based on the need for critical
infrastructure and IPv6 transitions. Two issues arise if transfers of
reserved address space occur under the current language of section 8.
First, if transfers of 4.4 or 4.10 space occur under the current policy
requirements set forth in sections 8.3 and 8.4, the recipients will be
able to acquire space that was originally reserved for a specific
purpose without ever providing evidence that they will be using the
space for either critical infrastructure or IPv6 transition. Second, if
we allow an allocation or assignment from the block reserved in section
4.10 to be transferred out of the region, it would complicate the single
aggregate from which providers are being asked to allow in block sizes
smaller than a /24. This policy would limit the transfer of addresses
from reserved pools.
Policy statement:
Add to Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 under the "Conditions on source of
the transfer:"
Address resources from a reserved pool (including those designated in
Section 4.4 and 4.10) are not eligible for transfer.
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
