8.5.5. Block size Organizations may qualify for the transfer of a larger initial block, or an additional block, by providing documentation to ARIN which details the use of at least 50% of the requested IPv4 block size within 24 months. An officer of the organization shall attest to the documentation provided to ARIN.
Organizations may qualify for an additional block by using a projection of their address use from 6-24 months of allocations or assignments just prior to the transfer request. I think between 8.3, 8.5.5, and 8.5.6 this still becomes a hazardous guessing game that doesn't account for unexpected growth. While i'm not fully comfortable with immediate excision of the needs tests, I do believe that relaxing them to a significant degree would be a step in the right direction. If you're going to re-align an organization's projection timeframe to 6-24 months, it only makes sense to align 8.3 and 8.4 with that new standard of 6 months as well. That way even if an organization is wrong, there's more than 1 opportunity to correct it within a year (assuming their only source is ARIN); and increases in pricing or address availability are limited to a 6 months timeframe. Is there any interest in moving towards a slow-end of the needs based tests; where the minimum 12 months (in 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5.5) becomes 6, after a review period the 6 becomes 3 and later the 3 becomes none as the transfer market is monitored throughout the slow-end to ensure this isn't enabling the negative scenario(s) it's designed to prevent? -Austin On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 1:34 PM, WOOD Alison * DAS <[email protected]> wrote: > The ARIN Draft Policy 2017-1 shepherds working with the original author > have updated the problem statement and added clarification to section > 8.5.5.
