Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2022-1: MDN Clarification for Qualification 

 

AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of Internet Number Resource 
Policy:

 

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2022-1 conforms to the principles of the ARIN 
Policy Development Process as follows:

 

* By providing greater clarity concerning transfer requirements for 
organizations operating Multiple Discrete Networks (MDNs), it promotes fair and 
impartial number resource administration;

* It is technically sound because it clarifies the technical requirements for 
receiving IPv4 resources via transfer if one is an MDN operator; and

* Community support has been demonstrated throughout the process associated 
with its development.

 

Problem Statement:

 

The requirements for transfers involving companies operating multiple discrete 
networks under section 8.5 of the NRPM are unclear and need clarification.

 

Policy statement:

 

Replace the first paragraph of Section 8.5.7 with the following:

 

Organizations may qualify for additional IPv4 address blocks by demonstrating 
80% utilization of their currently allocated space. In organizations operating 
multiple discrete networks, each discrete network may be assessed individually 
for the 80% utilization threshold. To qualify under this policy, the 
organization must provide justification that each network is discrete, per the 
criteria described in section 4.5. Each discrete network must meet the 
projection requirements in section 8.5.5, and each discrete network for which 
IP addresses are requested must meet the utilization requirements in section 
8.5.6. Organizations may receive one or more transfers up to the total size of 
their current ARIN IPv4 address holdings, up to a maximum size of /16.

 

Timetable for Implementation: Any
