I agree with this Draft policy.

This is clearly a legacy IPv4 policy. These reallocation requirements were put in place to document use of IPv4 resources so that you could ask for more. Without a free pool, this should not be required.

As we move to the future of IPv6, this appears to be an unneeded act, as nearly everyone who has applied for IPv6 resources has received a block that will last for a very long time, and from what I understand during discussion of another proposal last year, no one has had to come back to expand their IPv6 block. Thus, there is no need to publically document usage in order to apply for more space. Thus, the requirement for this should be dropped from the NRPM.

+1 to Owens thoughts on this. I know we will continue to do this even after the 
policy is cleaned.

I will point out that removing the requirement does not prevent anyone from 
continuing to provide the information. It merely makes it optional instead of 
mandatory.

In many cases, the reporting in question is an artifact of policy that was 
specially crafted to aid CMTS-based providers in being able to obtain 
sufficient IP space to actually provision networks while attempting to avoid 
widespread and massive abuse through a gaping policy loophole. Given the 
absence of an IPv4 free pool, that policy is no longer particularly applicable 
and I believe some of it has already been eliminated. As such, this is, IMHO, 
just some additional cleanup of the NRPM to further adapt to a post-IPv4 world.

If I read this correct, you would be removing the requirement of public records 
that display not just static re-allocations for a general geographic area, but 
it would also remove Dynamic pool re-allocations.

If I saw what requirement is being removed correctly, in either respect should 
anyone stop doing those type of Re-allocations, they will receive an increase 
of abuse calls from law enforcement given one layer of useful data is being 
halted.  It also might increase geographic route issues because I have come 
across some companies that sell geo filter software based off ARIN records.

Food for thought

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements
for Residential Market Assignments

Advisory Council Statement of Conformance with Principles of Internet Number 
Resource Policy:

This recommended draft policy is technically sound, creating a fair and 
impartial number policy. The draft policy removes the Residential Market Area 
record keeping and publication requirement placed upon one segment of the ISP 
population for ARIN IPv4 allocations. Since this requirement does not apply to 
IPv4 transfers it is a legacy element of policy sustaining administrative 
overhead for a subset of the community.  No concerns have been raised by the 
community  and there has been demonstrable support since its initial proposal.

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
