Hi ppml, We haven't seen a lot of support for ARIN 2020-10 since it's introduction. This proposal arose out of a policy experience report, but we've seen very little said about it from anyone that thinks this is a problem that needs to be solved or that the current text of NRPM here is negatively impacting their organization. We've heard from a few members of the community who are opposed to the proposal, and those who believe the current distinction between organizations that already have reassignments/reallocations from their upstreams and organizations with no space at all makes sense. We'd like to give the community one last chance to speak out in favor of this proposal before abandoning it. If you think this is a problem that needs to be solved, please let us know.
Best, Amy *** Draft Policy 2020-10: Requirement to Demonstrate Utilization of Reassignments and Reallocations for ISPs Seeking Initial Allocation from ARIN Problem Statement: 4.2.2 seems to provide an unfair advantage to ISPs without any IP address holdings - that is, they don’t have any direct assignments or allocations, nor any reassignments or reallocations from another organization. If an ISP does already have holdings in the form of reassignments or reallocations, and they request a /24, or even a /29 as an initial allocation - they are required to provide utilization data. This slows their advancement to the waiting list compared to a new ISP without any holdings at all. An organization without reassignments or reallocations doesn’t need to provide any justification other than submitting the request and providing an officer attestation. This expedites their addition to the waiting list. Policy Statement: Replace 4.2.2 with the following: 4.2.2. Initial Allocation to ISPs All ISP organizations automatically qualify for a /24.These organizations may qualify for more than a /24 by documenting how the requested allocation will be utilized within the request size specified in 4.2.4.3. ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from ARIN qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /22, subject to ARIN’s minimum allocation size. Timetable for implementation: Immediate. Comments: This proposal was written as the result of a Policy Experience Report.
