Hello, In April, Jason Schiller and Scott Leibrand proposed a policy to allow organizations to double their IPv4 address holdings via an 8.3 or 8.4 transfer without needs justification being performed up to certain size. The draft policy text has been updated to define that "certain size" as a /16. The Shepherds believe the data shows that the vast majority of transfer requests ARIN approves are for /16 or less.
Below is the text. Please indicate if you SUPPORT or OPPOSE the draft policy, or if there are some changes you'd like to see that would allow you to support it. Thank you, David Problem Statement: ARIN transfer policy currently inherits all its demonstrated need requirements for IPv4 transfers from NRPM sections 4. Because that section was written primarily to deal with free pool allocations, it is much more complicated than is really necessary for transfers. This proposal allows organizations using 80% of their current space to double their current holdings via 8.3 or 8.4 specified transfers, up to a /16 equivalent. In section 8.3, replace: The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA. with: The recipient must sign an RSA and either: - Demonstrate 80% utilization of their currently allocated space to qualify to receive one or more transfers up to the total size of their current ARIN IPv4 address holdings, with a maximum size of /16; or - Demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address space under current ARIN policies. In section 8.4, replace: Recipients within the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IPv4 address space. with: Recipients within the ARIN region must either: - Demonstrate 80% utilization of their currently allocated space to qualify to receive one or more transfers up to the total size of their current ARIN IPv4 address holdings, with a maximum size of /16; or - Demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IPv4 address space under current ARIN policies. _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
