Hi Chris,
I wonder what percentage of 2x-small Resource holders have a /24 of v4,
and would otherwise qualify for 3x-small status but for their v6
allocations, and what percentage of all ASs registered with ARIN that
represents. This represents the the total who could "downgrade" to a
nano-allocation, were that a option. It would be easy to derive from that
the maximum effect on ARIN's finances, if they all chose to take that
option.

Agreed. To be clear, I did not intend for my question to imply that the
goal of keeping the proposal revenue-neutral was in any way dishonorable
- ARIN’s financial stability is obviously in the community’s best
interests. But we should have informed consent as to how that stability
is achieved, and as such, clarifying the intention of the clause is
helpful.
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
Indeed. To be fair, I think the price is fair for value received, speaking as
a 2x-small ISP with a /36. I was able to lower my recurring costs and increase
my available address pool by bringing up an AS at the 2x-small rate. Allowing
the smallest ISPs to implement IPv6 without additional financial cost seems a
prudent way to overcome barriers to adoption.

Thanks Andrew, and good catch - both Scott and I missed that clause, obviously.
It appears that this is in place in order to meet the stated goal of this
proposal being revenue-neutral for ARIN? If so, it would be great to clarify so
that community members can make a more informed evaluation as to whether or not
to support the clause. If there are other justifications for the clause’s
presence, I’d be interested to hear them.

The current draft policy text disallows returns to lower than a /36, so
I would say that organization which took a /36 would not be permitted to
go down to a /40.
"Partial returns of any IPv6 allocation that results in less than a /36
of holding are not permitted regardless of the ISP’s current or former
IPv4 number resource holdings."

Hi Scott,
Given that ARIN utilizes a sparse allocation strategy for IPv6 resources (in my
organization’s case, we could go from a /32 to a /25 without renumbering), IMO
it would not be unreasonable for the allocation to be adjusted down simply by
changing the mask and keeping the /36 or /32 unallocated until the sparse
allocations are exhausted. Any resources numbered outside the new /40 would
need to be renumbered, to be sure, but that’s most likely less work than a
complete renumbering.
That said, I’ll leave it up to Registration Services to provide a definitive
answer.

Hi All,
I am in favor of this draft, and am curious as to how resource holders who were
not dissuaded by the fee increase will be impacted by the policy change. While
they indeed have more address space than /40, they may also not need the
additional address space. Some might prefer the nano-allocation given the
lower cost. Will they be required to change allocations, and renumber, in
order to return to 3x-small status and associated rate?
