Draft Policy ARIN-2019-15: Hijacking Authorization Not-intended
Problem Statement:
When prop-254 (Clarification on IPv6 Sub-assignments), it was not
related, neither intended, to modify the “exclusivity” criterion.
Of course, it was not intended to provide an explicit authorization for
incidental or transient uses of address space by third parties, which in
fact it is a hijacking of addresses.
However, surprisingly, the resulting text (last paragraph of the NRPM
section 2.5), after the ARIN AC editorial process, is doing that.
This policy proposal tries to fix this specific text in the NRPM section
2.5 to avoid that misinterpretation.
Policy Statement:
Actual Text
Note that the incidental or transient use of address space by third
parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the
exclusive use criterion.
New Text
Note that the incidental or transient use of address space by third
parties, within the network of the recipient organization, shall not be
considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
Anything Else:
Situation in other regions: There is not equivalent explicit hijacking
authorization in other RIRs.
