Draft Policy ARIN-2019-14: No Specified Transfers for 4.1.8.2 Blocks
Problem Statement:
The ARIN “Unfulfilled Requests” policy creates an opportunity for an
ARIN member to claim need for number resources, wait for those resources
to become available via returns or reclamations, acquire them (per
4.1.8.2 of the NRPM), wait a day after the mandatory “hold time”, and
then profit from them via a specified transfer transaction.
This waiting list policy freely provides number resources, creating an
incentive for profit-taking through fraudulent applications or making
misrepresentations to registration services.
ARIN can avoid this problem by prohibiting non-8.2 transfers for blocks
distributed under 4.1.8.2 using language very similar to policy
elsewhere in the NRPM.
Policy Statement:
Add a second paragraph to 4.1.8.2:
IP allocations issued through 4.1.8.2 are non-transferable via section
8.3 and section 8.4. In the case of a section 8.2, transfer of the IP
assignment must be utilized for the same purpose or needs justified used
for the original 4.1.8 application.
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
