------------
Problem Statement:
 
As a result of ARIN's fee harmonization direct assignments are no longer being 
utilized within ARIN databases therefore language around that has been 
deprecated and should be modernized and aligned with current ARIN practices.
 
 
Policy Statement:
 
Section 2.5:
 
Update definition of Allocation and Assignment to reflect current practice.
 
FROM: 
 
“Allocation - IP addresses delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for 
the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other 
parties.
 
Assignment - IP addresses delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the 
exclusive use of the recipient organization.”
 
TO:
 
“Allocation - The method by which ARIN directly issues IP address resources to 
an Organization.
 
Assignment - The use of Assignment as a differentiating term has been 
deprecated.  Assignment should instead be read as Allocation or Issued.”
 
Section 2.6:
 
Change “receiving assignments of” to “issued.”
 
FROM:
 
“2.6 End User
 
An end-user is an organization receiving assignments of IP addresses 
exclusively for use in its operational networks.”
 
TO:
 
“2.6 End User
 
An end-user is an organization issued IP addresses exclusively for use in its 
operational networks.”
 
Section 2.8
 
Change “allocated or assigned” to “issued.”
 
FROM: 
 
“2.8. Registration Services Agreement (RSA)
 
Number resources allocated or assigned by ARIN under these policies are subject 
to a contractual 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).”
 
TO:
 
“2.8. Registration Services Agreement (RSA)
 
Number resources issued by ARIN under these policies are subject to a 
contractual agreement between ARIN and the resource holder. Throughout this 
document, any and all forms of this agreement, past or future, are simply

Section 3.6.3:
 
Change paragraph 1 text
 
FROM: “This policy applies to every Organization that has a direct assignment, 
direct allocation, or AS number from ARIN”
 
TO: “This policy applies to every Organization that has Internet number 
resources issued by ARIN"
 
RESULT: “This policy applies to every Organization that has Internet number 
resources issued by ARIN (or one of its predecessor registries) or a 
reallocation from an upstream ISP. This includes but is not limited to upstream 
ISPs and their downstream ISP customers (as defined by NRPM 2.5 and 2.6), but 
not reassignments made to their downstream end user customers.”
 
Section 4.2.2:
 
Reorganize and adjust text as follows

4.2.2. Initial Allocation to ISPs
 
All ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from ARIN 
qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /22, subject to ARIN’s minimum 
allocation size.
 
All ISP organizations without direct allocations, direct assignments, 
re-allocations or reassignments automatically qualify for a /24. These 
organizations are exempt from requirements of showing the efficient utilization 
of previously held IPv4 space. These organizations may qualify for a larger 
than a /24 by documenting how the requested allocation will be utilized within 
the request size specified in 4.2.4.3.
 
ISPs holding re-allocations and/or reassignments must show the efficient 
utilization of their resources consistent with the requirements in sections 
4.2.3 and 4.2.4.
