Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2020-2: Reinstatement of Organizations
Removed from Waitlist by Implementation of ARIN-2019-16
AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number
Resource Policy:
This Draft Policy is fair, impartial, and technically sound. The intent
of this draft policy is to reinstate organizations to the waitlist that
were removed via ARIN-2019-16's adoption if their total IPv4 holdings
amount to a /18 or less. This would allow reinstated organizations to
extend their two-year approval and qualify for up to a /22. This
excludes any organizations who have since had requests met via the
transfer market, or any that fulfill their requests with the transfer
market after ARIN 2020-2 is implemented.
Note also that the Advisory Council changed the name of the policy upon
learning the term "grandfather clause" has historical roots in
preventing former slaves and their descendants from voting in the
American South.
Problem Statement:
The implementation of the ARIN-2019-16 Advisory Council Recommendation
RegardingNRPM 4.1.8: Unmet Requests caused some organizations to be
removed from the waiting list that were approved under the old policy’s
eligibility criteria. These organizations should have been grandfathered
when the waitlist was reopened to allow them to receive an allocation of
IPv4 up to the new policy’s maximum size constraint of a /22.
Policy Statement:
Add section 4.1.8.3 (temporary language in the NRPM to remain until the
policy objective is achieved)
Restoring organizations to the waitlist
ARIN will restore organizations that were removed from the waitlist at
the adoption of ARIN-2019-16 to their previous position if their total
holdings of IPv4 address space amounts to a /18 or less. The maximum
size aggregate that a reinstated organization may qualify for is a /22.
All restored organizations extend their 2 year approval by [number of
months between July 2019 and implementation of new policy]. Any requests
met through a transfer will be considered fulfilled and removed from the
waiting list.
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
Anything Else:
While attending ARIN 44 and discussing this with other community members
the vast majority indicated that they agreed that some organizations
were treated unfairly. This proposal is a remedy.
