Draft Policy ARIN-2014-18
Simplifying Minimum Allocations and Assignments
Date: 23 July 2014
Problem Statement:
New and small organizations are having a difficult time receiving
resource allocations from ARIN because of the economic, administrative
and time burdens of making their way through ARIN’s needs testing
process. For small allocations, the burdens of needs testing may exceed
the value of the resources, or may deter small, less well-funded
organizations’ ability to receive an allocation from ARIN. As ARIN was
created to provide Internet resources to ALL organizations within its
geographic territory, this disparity in the Policy Manual needs to be
addressed. The problem can be remedied by removing needs testing for any
organization that applies to receive the current minimum block size
allocation.
Policy statement:
Therefore I propose the following addition to the Policy Manual
(possibly as 4.2.1.7):
“A Minimum IP allocation size(s) has been defined per Section 4 of the
ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual. Regardless of any policy
requirement(s) defined in any other active Section of the Policy Manual,
all organizations may apply and shall automatically qualify for the
current Minimum IP Block Allocation upon completing the normal
administrative application process and fee requirements, and all
organizations shall be eligible for such an allocation once every 12
months. Where this is in conflict with any other Section in the Policy
Manual, this Section shall be controlling.”
Comments:
a. Timetable for implementation:
b. Anything else:
