Susan Hamlin Director, Member Services From memsvcs at arin.net Tue Apr 9 15:16:57 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2002 15:16:57 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Request for Comments: RIR-ICANN Draft Contract Message-ID: As ARIN members are aware, the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have been working together for some time on the production of a relationship agreement, or contract, between the RIRs and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). There is now a draft contract that, if executed, would represent agreement between the RIRs and ICANN on matters of roles, responsibilities and procedures relating to Internet address management and global address management policies. This contract would further codify, or formalize, the existing working relationship between the RIRs and ICANN which is set forth in the ASO MoU. Pending the final approval of RIR and ICANN boards, and the satisfactory development of the ICANN reform process, the RIRs believe that this document could be signed. To facilitate input from the RIRs' communities, the draft document is available at: http://www.arin.net/library/internet_info/RIR-Contract.pdf. Comments are invited until Friday, 31 May 2002, 23:59 UTC. (7:59 PM EDT) This discussion will take place on the public policy mailing list (ppml at arin.net). Subscription information is available at http://www.arin.net/mailing_lists/index.html. Raymond A.

ARIN Member Services From memsvcs at arin.net Fri Apr 19 09:58:46 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 09:58:46 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Last Call - ARIN Policy Proposal 2001-3 Message-ID: The ARIN Advisory Council has voted to forward to the ARIN Board of Trustees policy proposal 2001-3. This is a last call for community comment on this policy prior to the ARIN Board of Trustees review of the proposed policy. This policy will be posted on the ARIN website and the ARIN Public Policy email list. Please send your comments to ppml at arin.net. This last call will expire at 23:59 EST on May 3, 2002. Raymond A. Plzak President American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** Last Call - Policy Proposal 2001-3 *** IPv6 Micro-assignments ARIN will make micro-allocations to critical infrastructure providers of the Internet, including public exchange points, core DNS service providers (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root, gTLD, and ccTLD operators) as well as the RIRs and IANA. These allocations will be no longer than a /24 using IPv4 or a /48 using IPv6. Multiple allocations may be granted in certain situations. Exchange point allocations MUST be allocated from specific blocks reserved only for this purpose. All other micro-allocations WILL be allocated out of other blocks reserved for micro-allocation purposes. ARIN will make a list of these blocks publicly available. Exchange point operators must provide justification for the allocation, including: connection policy, location, other participants (minimum of two total), ASN, and contact information. ISPs and other organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged under the ISP fee schedule, while end users will be charged under the fee schedule for end users. This policy does not preclude exchange point operators from requesting address space under other policies.

This a last call for community comment on this policy prior to the ARIN Board of Trustees review of the proposed policy. This policy will be posted on the ARIN website (http://www.arin.net/policy/2001_4.html) and the ARIN Public Policy email list. Please send your comments to ppml at arin.net. This last call will expire at 23:59 EDT on May 6, 2002. Raymond A. Plzak President American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** Last Call - Policy Proposal 2001-4 *** The three RIRs have compiled the proposal document dated December 22, 2001, version 2001-12-22 using feedback received from the RIR communities since the publishing of the provisional IPv6 document in 1999. In the interest of maintaining IPv6 policies that are global in scope, ARIN accepts the document with language on initial allocations modified during APNIC 13 and ARIN IX Public Policy Meetings as interim policy with the following specific exceptions: * Use the concept of license instead of lease. * There is no implied guarantee of routability. The language pertaining to subsequent allocations does not have consensus, but is not deemed imminently applicable.
