As shepherd for this policy I welcome any additional last call
feedback for this policy. It is especially important to speak up if
you feel there are any issues remaining that need to be considered.
But, even if you simply support the policy as written that is
important and useful feedback as well.
The last call period formally continues through, Monday, May 9th, and
the AC will consider the feedback during its scheduled call on
Thursday, May 19th.
Thanks

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2015-3
Remove 30 day utilization requirement in end-user IPv4 policy
AC's assessment of conformance with the Principles of Internet Number
Resource Policy:
ARIN 2015-3 contributes to fair and impartial number resource administration
by removing from the NRPM text that is operationally unrealistic for the
reasons discussed in the problem statement. This proposal is technically
sound, in that the removal of the text will more closely align with the way
staff applies the existing policy in relation to 8.3 transfers. There was
strong community support for the policy on PPML and at ARIN 36, which was
confirmed at ARIN 37. There was a suggestion to replace this text with an
alternate requirement. However, the community consensus was to move forward
with the removal alone.
The staff and legal review also suggested removing RFC2050 references and
pointed out that 4.2.3.6 has an additional 25% immediate use clause,
community feedback was to deal with those issues separately.
Problem Statement:
End-user policy is intended to provide end-users with a one year supply of
IP addresses. Qualification for a one-year supply requires the network
operator to utilize at least 25% of the requested addresses within 30 days.
This text is unrealistic and should be removed.
First, it often takes longer than 30 days to stage equipment and start
actually using the addresses.
Second, growth is often not that regimented; the forecast is to use X
addresses over the course of a year, not to use 25% of X within 30 days.
Third, this policy text applies to additional address space requests. It is
incompatible with the requirements of other additional address space request
justification which indicates that 80% utilization of existing space is
sufficient to justify new space. If a block is at 80%, then often (almost
always?) the remaining 80% will be used over the next 30 days and longer.
Therefore the operator cannot honestly state they will use 25% of the
ADDITIONAL space within 30 days of receiving it; they're still trying to use
their older block efficiently.
Fourth, in the face of ARIN exhaustion, some ISPs are starting to not give
out /24 (or larger) blocks. So the justification for the 25% rule that
previously existed (and in fact, applied for many years) is no longer
germane.
Policy statement:
Remove the 25% utilization criteria bullet point from NRPM 4.3.3.
Resulting text:
4.3.3. Utilization rate
Utilization rate of address space is a key factor in justifying a new
assignment of IP address space. Requesters must show exactly how previous
address assignments have been utilized and must provide appropriate details
to verify their one-year growth projection.
The basic criterion that must be met is a 50% utilization rate within one
year.
A greater utilization rate may be required based on individual network
requirements. Please refer to RFC 2050 for more information on utilization
guidelines.

ARIN STAFF ASSESSMENT
Draft Policy ARIN-2015-3
Remove 30 day utilization requirement in end-user IPv4 policy
Date of Assessment: 16 February 2016
___
1. Summary (Staff Understanding)
This proposal would remove the 25% utilization (within 30 days of issuance)
criteria bullet point from NRPM 4.3.3.
___
2. Comments
A. ARIN Staff Comments
This policy would more closely align with the way staff applies the existing
policy in relation to 8.3 transfers. Because there is no longer an IPv4 free
pool and many IPv4 requests are likely to be satisfied by 8.3 transfers, the
adoption of this policy should have no major impact on operations and could
be implemented as written.
Note that both NRPM 4.3.3 and NRPM 4.2.3.6 contain references to obsolete
RFC 2050. Additionally, 4.2.3.6 references the 25% immediate use (within 30
days of issuance) requirement.
Staff suggests removing the first two sentences of 4.2.3.6 to remove the
references to RFC 2050 and the 25% requirement. Additionally, staff suggests
removing the reference to the obsolete RFC 2050 in section 4.3.3.
B. ARIN General Counsel – Legal Assessment
No material legal risk in this policy.
___
3. Resource Impact
This policy would have minimal resource impact from an implementation
aspect. It is estimated that implementation would occur immediately after
ratification by the ARIN Board of Trustees. The following would be needed in
order to implement:
* Updated guidelines and internal procedures
* Staff training
