Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements
for Residential Market Assignments
Advisory Council Statement of Conformance with Principles of Internet
Number Resource Policy:
This recommended draft policy is technically sound, creating a fair and
impartial number policy. The draft policy removes the Residential Market
Area record keeping and publication requirement placed upon one segment
of the ISP population for ARIN IPv4 allocations. Since this requirement
does not apply to IPv4 transfers it is a legacy element of policy
sustaining administrative overhead for a subset of the community. No
concerns have been raised by the community and there has been
demonstrable support since its initial proposal.
Problem Statement:
Current number policy requires some organizations to create
reallocations or reassignments for residential subscribers. This
requirement complicates record keeping for ISPs. There is limited value
today for requiring these records be put into the ARIN database.
ARIN number policy for a long time has required ISPs to add a
reallocation or reassignment record for each of their subscriber address
blocks. This policy dates from the original cable allocations as a
method to publicly show that a portion of a larger block has been put
into use.
Since ARIN no longer has a free pool of IPv4 addresses and requirements
for transfer are demonstrated without these records, this requirement is
no longer needed.
Furthermore, this requirement complicates reallocation & reassignment
entry into the ARIN database.3 Removing this requirement could reduce
the complexity required for accurately maintaining reallocation and/or
reassignment records.
Policy statement:
Remove Section 4.2.3.7.3.1 (Residential Market Area) from the NRPM
Comments:
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
