From memsvcs at arin.net Tue Oct 1 09:20:07 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 09:20:07 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Policy Proposal 2002-9 Message-ID: A copy of a message sent to the ARIN public policy mailing list on September 30, 2002, is provided at the bottom of this message. The author intended this message to become a new policy proposal. ARIN welcomes feedback and discussion about the following policy proposal in the weeks leading to the ARIN Public Policy Meeting in Eugene, Oregon, scheduled for October 30-31, 2002. All feedback received on the mailing list about this policy proposal will be included in the discussions that will take place at the upcoming Public Policy Meeting. This policy proposal discussion will take place on the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (ppml at arin.net). Subscription information is available at http://www.arin.net/mailing_lists/index.html Richard Jimmerson Director of Operations American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ### * ### Policy Proposal 2002-9: To Allow Micro-Assignments for End-user Organizations Specific language to be adopted: Keep all the current IPV4 End-user Assignments language except to change in third paragraph change /20 to /24: The new paragraph will read: The minimum block of IP address space assigned by ARIN is a /24. If assignments smaller than /24 are needed, end-users should contact their upstream provider. Arguments for the Proposal and General Discussion of the Issue: I started a company in 1991 and was able to obtain a Class C license. Our company did well and grew to more than a hundred employees. I left the company last year and started a new company. My old company still has the class C that I registered. (/24) My new company is growing but does not support the use of a /20 address space. My ISP is charging me for every ip address I use. I never paid for ip address in the past and do not feel good about it now. We should have a policy in place that supports small businesses and does not promote ripping off the small business's by the letting the large ISP's charge for each IP used. Proposed Timetable for Implementation: To be voted October 30th for immediate implementation. ## END ## From memsvcs at arin.net Fri Oct 4 16:43:28 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2002 16:43:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN X Expanded Agenda Posted Message-ID: The ARIN community is encouraged to review the full range of discussion topics and activities on the agenda for ARIN X, to be held October 29 - November 1 in Eugene, Oregon. http://www.arin.net/ARIN-X/agenda.html Make your plans now to be an active participant and register for the meeting.
