Therefore it is the same in LACNIC which works pretty much similar to
what Bill described for some jurisdictions.
But more important then this bureaucracy is that whoever is requesting
the resources be able to justify the need for them, even for IPv6-only
which is not scarce. Base should be able to justify the usage on some
operation.

Hi Bill,
Yes, is the same in the EU (at least in Spain), when you have a self-employed,
tax declaration is mixed.
The only issue is that even if you have no business, you need to pay a monthly
fee (social security, VAT declaration every 3 months, even if no activity,
etc.) for keeping up the status of self-employed. Not sure if in US and Canada
is the same.
Creating a corporation like the “sloe proprietorship” that you mention, even if
the cost is very low, still means that you need to do yearly declarations, etc.
Again not sure if in US and Canada is the same.
So I feel that this way in ARIN (and LACNIC) is not good for individuals,
because it adds additional cost and burden that is discriminatory. Specially
because in other countries (Caribbean) it may be not so easy, and this is the
same in LACNIC that has more countries, which may have much different
regulations, etc.
The question here is *if* ARIN allowed (before) individuals to get resources,
why it changed? it seems to be a step backwards, and decreasing competitiveness
o
self-employee and in fact small-medium business.
Tks!
Regards,
Jordi

I’m trying to understand if is possible in ARIN for both, a natural person with
an economic activity (not sure if this is also call self-employment in all the
ARIN service countries) and a natural person for its own “private” life, to
obtain resources.
Hi Jordi,
ARIN no longer contracts with natural persons, only businesses.
However, in the U.S. and Canada (I'm not sure about the Caribbean)
it's a trivial matter to establish a "sole proprietorship." Some
states don't even require registration; you simply declare it. In
others it requires filling out a form and paying a small fee. In both
cases, the individual's personal and business finances are mixed
together; there are no separate taxes or accounting or anything like
that. The sole proprietorship is a business which can contract with
ARIN and acquire IP addresses.
Look up AS11875 for an example of how this works.

Bill Herrin
