Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements for
Residential Market Assignments
Problem Statement:
Current number policy requires some organizations to create
reallocations or reassignments for residential subscribers. This
requirement complicates record keeping for ISPs. There is limited value
today for requiring these records be put into the ARIN database.
ARIN number policy for a long time has required ISPs to add a
reallocation or reassignment record for each of their subscriber address
blocks. This policy dates from the original cable allocations as a
method to publicly show that a portion of a larger block has been put
into use.
Since ARIN no longer has a free pool of IPv4 addresses and requirements
for transfer are demonstrated without these records, this requirement is
no longer needed.
Furthermore, this requirement complicates reallocation & reassignment
entry into the ARIN database.3 Removing this requirement could reduce
the complexity required for accurately maintaining reallocation and/or
reassignment records.
Policy statement:
Remove Section 4.2.3.7.3.1 (Residential Market Area) from the NRPM
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: immediate
