Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2020-1: Clarify Holding Period for
Resources Received via 4.1.8 Waitlist
AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number
Resource Policy:
Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2020-1 (“RDP 2020-1”) clarifies that IPv4
address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for
transfer for a period of 60 months with the exception of transfers under
section 8.2 of the ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual (“NRPM”). RDP
2020-1 enables fair and impartial number resource administration by
eliminating an ambiguity concerning whether NRPM section 8.2 transfers
constitute an intended exception to the 60 month hold period under the
waitlist policy. RDP 2020-1 is technically sound by fostering clarity
and consistency in the application of the waitlist policy, while meeting
community needs expressed in section 8.2 of the NRPM, all of which
contributes to improved directory accuracy. RDP 2020-1 enjoys community
support.
Problem Statement:
A recent Policy Experience Report reported ambiguity on the part of
customers as to whether or not the 60-month restriction on transferring
resources received via NRPM Section 4.1.8 applies to M&A transfers under
NRPM Section 8.2. This proposal clarifies this restriction to exempt 8.2
transfers from this restriction.
Policy Statement:
Update NRPM Section 4.1.8 as follows:
Original Text: Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be
eligible for transfer for a period of 60 months.
New Text: Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be
eligible for transfer, with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for
a period of 60 months.”
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
