This last call will expire at 23:59 EST on November 22, 2002. Raymond A. Plzak President American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** Last Call: Policy Proposal 2002-2 *** 2002-2: Experimental Internet Resource Allocations There have been a number of experimental address allocations undertaken in the Internet over the past decade. These experimental address allocations have been made by the IANA in coordination with standards bodies, such as the IETF, on an ad hoc basis. There is currently no systematic means of receiving other Numbering Resources on a temporary basis as part of a recognised experiment in Internet technology deployment. The following policy is proposed: The RIRs will allocate Numbering Resources to entities requiring temporary Numbering Resources for a fixed period of time under the terms of recognised experimental activity. The following criteria for this policy are proposed: 1. Public Disclosure of Experimental Requests The organisation requesting the resources will have to detail what experimental work they are going to carry out. Such detail can usually be made either: * by submitting a proposal that references a current IETF Experimental RFC (Detail Two), or * by submitting an 'experiment proposal' detailing what resources are required, and what activities will be carried out (Detail Three). Such experimental proposals will, in the normal course of events be made public upon acceptance of the proposal by an RIR. Consideration will be given to non-disclosure constraints, but this is anticipated to be a prohibitive constraint upon the use of public Numbering Resources, even in an experimental context. The RIR will not allocate resources if the entire research experiment cannot be publicly disclosed as per Details Two and Three following. 2. Resource Coordination with Standards Development Bodies The IETF from time to time describes experimental activities and associated requirements for resources that will be required by participants in the experiment. It is considered as being acceptable for the organisation to reference a current Experimental RFC and indicate the organisation's participation in the experiment. Organisations such as the IETF, who describe experimental activities as part of their standards development process, need to consider the associated Numbering Resource requirements with any proposed experiment, and under this proposal will need to liaise with the RIRs as part of the process of publishing a draft as an experimental RFC. 3. Resource Coordination with Independent Experiments For experimental proposals not covered by Detail Two, the RIR will require the experiment's aims and objectives to be published in a publicly accessible document. The RIRs have a strong preference for the use of an Experimental RFC published through the IETF, but will accept other publication mechanisms where the experiment's objectives and practices are publicly and openly available free of charges and free of any constraints of disclosure. The RIRs would also normally require that the experiment's outcomes be published in an openly and freely available document, again free of charges and free of any constraints of disclosure. 4. Resource Allocation Term and Renewal The Numbering Resources are allocated on a lease/license basis for a period of one year. The allocation can be renewed on application to the issuing RIR providing information as per in Detail One. The identity and details of the applicant and the allocated Numbering Resources will be published under the conditions of the RIR's normal publication policy (for example, listed as a temporary allocation in the RIR's database). 5. Single Resource Allocation per Experiment The RIR will make one-off allocations only, on an annual basis. Additional allocations outside the annual cycle will not be made unless justified by a subsequent complete application. It's important for the requesting organisation to ensure they have sufficient resources requested as part of their initial application for the proposed experimental use. 6. Resource Allocation Fees Each RIR may charge an administration fee to cover each allocation made of these experimental resources. This fee simply covers registration and maintenance, rather than the full allocation process for standard RIR members. This administration fee should be as low as possible as these requests do not have to undergo the same evaluation process as those requested in the normal policy environment. 7. Resource Allocation Size The Numbering Resources requested come from the global Internet Resource space, and are not from private or other non-routable Internet Resource space. The allocation size should be consistent with the existing RIR minimum allocation sizes, unless small allocations are intended to be explicitly part of the experiment. If an organisation requires more resource than stipulated by the minimum allocation sizes in force at the time of their request, they should include in their research proposal why this is required. 8. Commercial Use Prohibited If there is any evidence that the temporary resource is being used for commercial purposes, or is being used for any activities not documented in the original experiment description provided to the RIR, the issuing RIR reserves the right to immediately withdraw the resource and reassign it to the free pool. 9. Resource Request Appeal or Arbitration The RIRs should be in a position to assess and comment on the objectives of the experiment with regard to the requested amount of Numbering Resources. The issuing RIR should be able to modify the requested allocation as appropriate, and in agreement with the proposer. In the event that the proposed modifications are not acceptable, the requesting organization may request an appeal or arbitration using the normal procedures of the RIR. In this case, the original standards body that endorsed the experimental action may be requested to provide additional information regarding the experiment and its objectives to assist in the resolution of the appeal. ## END ## From memsvcs at arin.net Mon Nov 11 16:40:49 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 16:40:49 -0500 (EST) Subject: [arin-announce] Last Call for Comment: Policy Proposal 2002-5 Message-ID: <200211112140.QAA28303@ops.arin.net> The ARIN Advisory Council voted to forward the following policy proposal to the ARIN Board of Trustees for consideration.

Plzak President American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** Last Call: Policy Proposal 2002-8 *** 2002-8: Privatizing POC Information ARIN's new database allows an organization to designate several points of contact for their organization and resource records. Available types of POCs are Admin, Technical, Abuse, and NOC. If an organization designates several POCs for the management of their organization or resource records in the ARIN database, they are made available via ARIN WHOIS. In order for a point of contact to conduct resource administration for a given resource record in the ARIN database, that POC does have to be associated with the resource record in the ARIN database, and therefore is listed in ARIN WHOIS. It is proposed organizations be able to designate certain points of contact as private from ARIN WHOIS, with the exception that, at the minimum, one point of contact must be viewable. ## END ## From memsvcs at arin.net Fri Nov 15 16:03:54 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 16:03:54 -0500 (EST) Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Board of Trustees Election Results Message-ID: David Conrad and Bill Woodcock have been elected to the ARIN Board of Trustees.
