Hi PPML: As an FYI, this update to the proposal is the result of ARIN’s Staff & Legal review, which recommended these modifications:
- Removal of the mention of 8.2 transfers as the only valid transfer, as this is covered by the prohibitions in sections 8.3 and 8.4. - Updating wording in 4.4 clarifying that allocations must continue to meet justification requirements going forward. - Referencing Section 4.2.41 in Section 4.4.3, instead of duplicating its text. - Typo fixes. Please discuss :) Thank you, -Chris Woodfield > On Mar 18, 2025, at 11:44, ARIN <[email protected]> wrote: > > The following Draft Policy has been revised: > > *ARIN-2024-5: Rewrite of NRPM Section 4.4 Micro-Allocation > > Revised text is below and can be found at: > > https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/drafts/2024_5/ > > You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML.
