Thank you for the suggestion! One intended goal of the policy was aggregation, but compliance was not defined. I would appreciate any suggestions that you have on compliance and enforcing the aggregation per celestial body. ________________________________ From: ARIN-PPML <[email protected]> on behalf of David Farmer via ARIN-PPML <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 11:48 AM To: Martin Hannigan <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] TIPTOP

In 2025, there were about a dozen space missions of note. I would expect the same with a slow linear increase for the foreseeable future. +1 to find a policy solution to support this need. Demand doesn't matter. A need presented by a community does. They(network and other engineers building these networks) already have demand using the resources. There's no good reason to argue if aggregation benefits are important both policy or technical. ICP2 and the NRPM say so. The high level resource engineering discussed is a “duh” moment. Physics. I also support a policy to allocate resources for use in deep space and to aggregate them around celestial bodies. However, the current policy doesn't seem to include any kind of commitment from the entities receiving the resources to use them in accordance with the proposed aggregation. Without even a theoretical commitment by the resource holders to implement the intended aggregation, how will it ever be achieved? Obviously, there will be limits to what ARIN can contractually enforce; nevertheless, it seems prudent that resources received under this policy have some minimal exceptions to implement the intended aggregation. Without at least a minimal commitment to fulfill the intended aggregation, creating a new policy regime seems unwise. -- Thank you / Ho Pidamayado / Miigwech =============================================== David Farmer Email:[email protected]<mailto:email%[email protected]> Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2829 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414 Cell: 612-812-9952 ===============================================
