Folks -
We’ve had excellent discussion of various options for the revised
“Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests"
proposed policy change – some of which is likely to have to further
informed folks initial views on the matter (as well as on future policy
proposals in this area), but at this time it is fairly important that we
receive focused feedback on the revised policy text as written, with due
consideration to the discussion that has occurred online.
To that end, at this time it would be good to know from everyone:
1. Are you in favor of ARIN making the policy change specified in the
revised "Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet
Requests” ?
(“Yes” obviously indicative that you’d like ARIN to proceed with its
adoption and resumption of wait list issuance under its revised
guidelines, and
“No” being indicative that you’d rather have the suspension of wait
list issuance continue unless/until some other policy change in this
area reaches consensus.)
No.
2. If you are not supportive of ARIN making the change specified in the
revised "Advisory Council Recommendation Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet
Requests”,
is there any modification to the proposed policy change that would
enable you to support it?
I would support it if the following changes were made:
Change 1
--------
From: "The maximum size aggregate that an organization may qualify for
at any one time is a /22."
To: "The maximum size aggregate that an organization may qualify for at
any one time is a /20."
Why: I have my company on the waiting list. We could have asked for a
/15, a /22, or any other prefix length, however, we have checked our
network needs, evaluated our growth, deployed IPv6, have been careful
with our IPv4 deployment, used RFC1918 whenever we needed, etc., and
after careful consideration we have requested a /20 or /21. Then, ARIN
approved our plans and put us on the waiting list for that prefix.
I am assuming that after that problem with one particular company
requesting prefixes solely for the purpose of transferring, ARIN is
taking several measures to prevent this fraudulent behavior in the
future, not only with a policy but using other methods. We, the
good-standing members, cannot pay the price of one bad actor.
Change 2
--------
From: "...not be eligible for transfer for a period of 60 months."
To: "...not be eligible for transfer for a period of 60 months. However,
if demonstrated, the company may transfer the resources if the company
is acquired, merged, etc. with another company."
Why: Five years in this industry is a very long time not be acquired,
merged, or bought by another company. I think it needs to be explicit.
Please modify the text, English is not my first language.
Thanks,
Tomás Lynch
I would ask that PPML participants take a moment to consider the
proposed policy change as written and please reply regarding the
questions above.
Thanks!

*Subject: **[arin-ppml] Revised - Advisory Council Recommendation
Regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests*
*Date: *24 May 2019 at 1:04:58 PM EDT
*To: *<arin-ppml@arin.net <mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net>>
At their 16 May meeting, the Advisory Council revised their
recommendation regarding NRPM 4.1.8. Unmet Requests.
The revised recommendation is hereby submitted to the Public Policy
Mailing List for a second community discussion period of 14 days, to
conclude on 7 June.
Once completed, the Board of Trustees will review the AC’s
recommendation and the PPML discussion.
The full text of the Advisory Council's revised recommendation is below.
Sean Hopkins
Policy Analyst
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
Advisory Council recommendation:
This is an updated version which incorporates feedback from the ARIN
staff and was approved for further community consultation at the ARIN
AC meeting on May 16, 2019.
In accordance with section 10.2 of the ARIN Policy Development
Process, the ARIN Advisory Council recommends the following actions to
the Board of Trustees in response to the Board’s suspension of part of
the operation of sections 4.1.8, 4.1.8.1 and 4.1.8.2 of the Numbering
Resource Policy Manual:
Replace section 4.1.8 et. seq. as follows, then reinstate the full
operation of sections 4.1.8, 4.1.8.1 and 4.1.8.2 immediately.
4.1.8 ARIN Waitlist
ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding
4.4 and 4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist. The maximum size aggregate
that an organization may qualify for at any one time is a /22.
Organizations will be able to elect a smaller block size than they
qualify for down to a /24. Only organizations holding a /20 or less of
IPv4 address space may apply and be approved. Address space
distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for transfer for a
period of 60 months. This policy will be applied to all future
distributions from the waitlist to include those currently listed.
Repeated requests, in a manner that would circumvent 4.1.6, are not
allowed: an organization currently on the waitlist must wait 90 days
after receiving a distribution from the waitlist before applying for
additional space. ARIN, at its sole discretion, may waive this
requirement if the requester can document a change in circumstances
since their last request that could not have been reasonably foreseen
at the time of the original request, and which now justifies
additional space. Qualified requesters whose request will also be
advised of the availability of the transfer mechanism in section 8.3
as an alternative mechanism to obtain IPv4 addresses.
4.1.8.1 Sequencing
The position of each qualified request on the waiting list will be
determined by the date it was approved. Each organization may have one
approved request on the waiting list at a time.
4.1.8.2 Fulfillment
ARIN will fulfill requests on a first-approved basis, subject to the
size of each available address block as address blocks become
available for distribution. A timely review of the original request
may be conducted by ARIN staff. Requests will not be partially filled.
Any requests met through a transfer will be considered fulfilled and
removed from the waiting list.
