Thank you for breaking out the definitions. I support your minor change and agree that the sentence, “A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.” should be added to both Assignment and Reassignment.
From: ARIN-PPML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Farmer Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2018 6:44 AM To: ARIN <[email protected]> Cc: ARIN-PPML List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Revised/Retitled - Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments Because of recent changes, editorial if I remember correctly, section 2.5 now reads as; 2.5. Allocation, Assignment, Reallocation, Reassignment Allocation - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other parties. Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. Reallocation - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an upstream provider for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other parties. Reassignment - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an upstream provider for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. This proposal essentially adds the following sentence to "Assignment" above. A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion. However, I propose the following minor change to that; A temporary reassignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion. Further, the sentence should also apply to "Reassignment". So, does the sentence also need to be added to "Reassignment"? Or maybe add the following sentence to "Reassignment"; Excluding temporary reassignments, as discussed in the definition Assignment above.

The AC will evaluate the discussion in order to assess the conformance of this draft policy with ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy as stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these principles are: * Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration * Technically Sound * Supported by the Community The PDP can be found at: https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp.html Draft Policies and Proposals under discussion can be found at: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/index.html Regards, Sean Hopkins Policy Analyst American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments Problem Statement: When the policy was drafted, the concept of assignments/sub-assignments did not consider the use of IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP addresses by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and many other similar cases. Additionally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a unique IPv6 /64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273) instead of a unique address. This, for example, allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64 such that they are "isolated" from other users (for reasons of security, regulatory requirements, etc.) and they can also use multiple virtual machines on their devices with a unique address for each one (within the same /64). Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign), explicitly prohibits such assignments, stating that "Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to other parties". This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by means of additional language added to the definition of an Assignment. Note that the proposal text also incorporates changes made under an Editorial Change currently awaiting Board of Trustees review, available here: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html Policy Statement: Actual Text, Section 2.5: • Assign - To assign means to delegate address space to an ISP or end-user, for specific use within the Internet infrastructure they operate. Assignments must only be made for specific purposes documented by specific organizations and are not to be sub-assigned to other parties. New Text: • Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered an assignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion. Comments Timetable for implementation: Immediate Anything else: Situation in other regions: This situation, has already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was updated in a similar way, even if right now there is a small discrepancy between the policy text that reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact Analysis. A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend that, and the text is the same as presented by this proposal at ARIN. Same text has also been submitted to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC. _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
