Draft Policy ARIN-2019-8: Clarification of Section 4.10 for Multiple
Discrete Networks
Problem Statement:
Currently, applicants for IPv4 resources under section 4.10 of the NRPM
who do so under a single OrgID of the NRPM may only obtain one /24 every
six months for the OrgID, even in the case where multiple discrete
networks (MDNs) as defined in section 4.5 of the NRPM are grouped under
that OrgID. On the other hand, where MDNs are held under different
OrgIDs associated the same entity, the six-month constraint would apply
to each discrete network separately. This results in unfair allocations
of resources based solely on how entities choose to associate MDNs with
their OrgIDs. This policy rectifies that problem by placing MDNs on an
equal footing for the purpose of section 4.10 allocations regardless of
how they are grouped by OrgID by the same ultimate entity.
Policy Statement:
Bullet 1. under section 4.10 of the NRPM is amended to read:
the applicant may not have received resources under this policy in the
preceding six months, except to the extent that the applicant is
requesting resources for a discrete network in respect of which it has
not received any resources under this policy in the preceding six
months; Add a new bullet 6 that reads:
An applicant requesting multiple allocations under this policy to
support Multiple Discrete Networks, as defined under Section 4.5, may
not receive more than the equivalent of a /21 of IPv4 address space in
any one six-month period hereunder.
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
Anything Else
To what extent should the passage of this policy be contingent or
independent of whether any ultimate cap is imposed on the total quantity
of IPv4 resources that an entity can obtain under section 4.10
regardless of the number of OrgIDs associated with the entity or number
of MDNs it holds.
