Yes to focus solely on allocation policies that means make it clear when a revocation may happen which is governed by this forum.

Agree that RSA can have all the possible details, but I see no harm in keeping the text exactly as it is. Could anyone explain what sort of trouble keeping the text there may bring any issues to ARIN on the allocation/revocation process in place ?

The language, as is, is problematic because there’s a clear delineation between the NRPM and ARIN’s RSA/LRSAs. The former is intended to focus solely on allocation policies, and is a living document subject to change via the PDP. The RSA/LRSA agreements, however, are contracts whose language can only be modified by action from ARIN’s Board of Trustees. Contractual language on member fees, terms and conditions, and related topics are solely the domain of the RSA, and as such the inclusion of language regarding fees in the NRPM should be stricken - this language is already present in the RSA, where it belongs.

The primary reason for this delineation, as I understand it is that language in the RSA is necessary contractual language that ARIN must have in order to provide the necessary income to fulfill ARIN’s mission and responsibilities, and to protect ARIN from unnecessary legal liabilities that may threaten that mission. While number policy is subject to a community-driven policy development process, the language in ARIN's RSAs, for what I hope are obvious reasons, must be controlled far more tightly, hence the separation between the two.

I hope this helps clarify things.

Applies to all resources of course. If not in the appropriate place then add it there then. But not remove something that is very obvious.

How can it deal with the issues better by removing from the text that part that makes it clear that resources may be revoked if they are not payed ?

Are you saying fees only apply to ISPs with IPv4, the current text is in section 4.2.1.4, where section 4.2 applies to Allocations to ISPs...

Furthermore, not paying fees is only one reason resources may be revoked or reclaimed.

I think the new text is a better way to deal with the issues.

    Yes fees are most a RSA thing, but I see no harm to keep the
    actual wording as it is and make it loud and clear that
    organizations that don't pay the fees are subjected to resources
    revocation - which is up to this forum to define - so no one may
    plead ignorance about it.
    What is the problem to keep it as it is ? If the newly proposed
    text mentions that ISPs should take care to ensure that their
    annual renewal payment is made by their anniversary due date,
    what's wrong to also remind them that if that is not fulfilled
    the resources may be revoked ?
    This makes part of the Fair and Impartial Number Resources
    Administration principle.

    I see no propose in this proposal therefore I do not support it.

    Draft Policy ARIN-2020-8: Clarify and Update 4.2.1.2 Annual
    Renewal Fee


    Problem Statement:


    The January 2020 Policy Experience Report highlighted that the
    existing language in Section 4.2.1.2 "Annual Renewal"
    references fees. Fees are not considered a member qualification
    criteria. Since fees aren't referenced elsewhere in community
    policy, the wording was reviewed by the PEG.


    Policy statement:


    Given that the Registration Services Agreement (RSA) already
    contains language regarding fees, the AC Shepherds recommend to
    eliminate 4.2.1.2. entirely and add:


    2.X Registration Services Agreement (RSA)


    Number resources allocated or assigned by ARIN under these
    policies are subject to a contractural agreement between ARIN
    and the resource holder. Throughout this document, any and all
    forms of this agreement, past or future, are simply referred to
    as the Registration Services Agreement (RSA).


    Comments:


    The AC’s understanding is that community policy should not
    include language referring to fees, as such language is already
    present in the Registration Services Agreement (RSA)


    Registration Services has informed us that "Section 4.2.1.2.
    contains language detailing fee due dates, encouraging on-time
    payments, and mentions potential revocations. It also contains
    a reference to web documentation that has evolved significantly
    since this policy was implemented, and may continue to do so.
    Essentially the entire section is made of language that is
    already in the Registration Services Agreement, and is
    generally fee-focused, making it outside normal scope for
    Internet number resource policy."



    Timetable for implementation: Immediate



    Anything else:


    Community input since adopting draft has informed this
    direction. The 2.X placeholder is used as this seems like it
    might be foundational enough to not be 2.17 but the Shepherds
    would rather not upset current indexing arbitrarily.
