Subject: [arin-announce] AfriNIC Transition Update
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.51.0409010830340.16367@ops.arin.net>

Dear Colleagues,

ARIN, as well as RIPE NCC and APNIC, have been working very closely with
AfriNIC (The African Network Information Center) to prepare for its
emergence as a new Regional Internet Registry. In the future, African
organizations that presently obtain Internet number resources from ARIN
will obtain these resources from AfriNIC. The emergence of AfriNIC could
have implications that affect your organization. The information provided
below will explain what you need to know.

Commitment to our Members

ARIN is committed to its members and has put in place a structured
transition for members moving from ARIN's region to AfriNIC's region.
Details of this transition can be found at:

http://www.afrinic.net/documents.htm

As detailed in the transition plan, any requests for resources approved by
AfriNIC will be reviewed by ARIN until AfriNIC's full recognition by
ICANN.

Beginning September 1, ARIN will begin training with AfriNIC staff to
conduct joint reviews of all IP and AS Number requests coming from the
emerging AfriNIC region. Following training, these requests will be
co-evaluated by ARIN and AfriNIC.

No action is required yet on your part. Eventually, African ISPs wishing
to join AfriNIC will be asked to sign a new registration services
agreement with AfriNIC. Your organization will be informed in advance of
this requirement.

If you have any comments please contact Adiel Akplogan, CEO of AfriNIC at
<adiel at afrinic.net>. If you would like more information about AfriNIC
please visit the AfriNIC website at http://www.afrinic.net.

Policy Proposal 2004-5: Address Space for Multiple Discrete Networks

Author: Bill Darte

Policy statement:

Organizations with multiple discrete networks desiring to request new or
additional address space under a single Organization ID must meet the
following criteria:

(1)  The organization shall be a single entity and not a consortium of
smaller independent entities.

(2) The organization must have compelling criteria for creating discrete
networks. Examples of a discrete network might include:
  * Regulatory restrictions for data transmission,
  * Geographic distance and diversity between networks,
  * Autonomous multi-homed discrete networks.

(3) The organization must keep detailed records on how it has allocated
space to each location, including the date of each allocation.

(4) When applying for additional space from ARIN, the organization must
show greater than 50% utilization for both the last block allocated by
ARIN, and their allocations from ARIN as a whole. If an organization is
unable to meet this 50% criteria, the organization must not have a /20 or
shorter prefix available when requesting additional space.

(5) The organization may not allocate additional address space to a
location until each of that location's address blocks are 80% utilized.

(6) The organization should notify ARIN at the time of the request their
desire to apply this policy to their account.

This policy supersedes policy 2001-6.


Rationale:
a. Contradictions contained within policy 2001-6 have been removed and
replaced with clear, concise text.

b. Much of the procedural language contained in 2001-6 has been removed
and replaced with policy language.

c. 2001-6 made it difficult for smaller organizations to qualify as they
were frequently unable to meet the 50% criteria before needing additional
space for existing or new locations.  The new policy utilization structure
now allows both smaller and larger organizations to qualify.

Policy Proposal 2004-7: Residential Customer Privacy Policy

Author: William Leibzon

Policy statement:

An organization with downstream residential customer who is not engaged in
business activities may substitute that organization's name for the
customer's name, e.g. 'Private customer - XYZ Network', and the customer's
street address may read 'Private Residence'. Each private downstream
residential reassignment must be less then or equal to 128 ips and have
accurate upstream Abuse and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record for
that block.

Rationale:

The intent of residential customer privacy was to allow private citizens
to have privacy and safety in their personal life while being able to
request and use more then 8 ip addresses with residenial dsl line.

However soon after implementation it became clear that some of the ip
blocks being designated as "Private customer" are being used for business
purposes which is clearly seen by size of such reassignments as
69.111.160.0/22. While it is not unexpected that some people may run
business (including internet businesses) from their home, the laws regard
such activity as being similar to running business from small office and
usually require such businesses to receive a license from appropriate
local or state agency and to disclose the activity to the public, as such
different privacy rules apply in these situations.

This policy replaces current residential customer privacy 2003-3 and
requires that ISPs only designate reassignment whois data as "Private
Customer" if no business activity is involved with use of the ip block.
The limit for the reassignment is set to 128 ips as larger number of
computers in one residence is likely an indication of business activity
(as an example currently telephone companies allow up to 4 residential
telephone lines and if somebody needs larger number of telephone lines to
his home, those must be purchased as business telephone lines).
Additionally the amendment fixes small grammer error in current policy
text that involves incorrect use of plural and singular tenses.

Policy Proposal 2004-6: Privacy of Reassignment Information

Author: Sanford George

Policy Statement:

ISPs may choose whether or not to designate reassignment information
'public'. Reassignment information that is not designated 'public' will be
available only to ARIN, the entity that created it, and that entity's
upstream organizations.  The maintenance of the accuracy of the data that
is submitted whether it is public or private is the responsibility of the
submitting ISP.

Rationale:

Increasing concern about protection of private information on the Internet
has been expressed by many parts of the community.  There have been
numerous policy proposals over the last several years attempting to
protect various portions of the displayed information. Concern has been
expressed specifically about the requirement to publicly register customer
assignments, which are often regarded by ISPs and customers as private
information.

By publicly displaying reassignment information, the ISP is in some
respects displaying its customer lists and other information that may be
considered of a proprietary business interest.

Hello-

ARIN began allocating IP address space from 72.0.0.0/8 on Sept 10, 2004.  We
anticipate that we will be making allocations from 71.0.0.0/8 in the near
future.  These 2 IP address blocks were issued to ARIN by the IANA on Aug.
2, 2004.
 
This is a reminder message that you may need to adjust any filters you have
in place for these two blocks accordingly.

Policy Proposal 2004-8: Allocation of IPv6 Address Space by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy to Regional Internet Registries

Author: John Sweeting

Policy statement:

1.  Minimum Allocation Size.

The minimum size of any allocation of IPv6 address space from IANA to an
RIR is prefix length /12.  If this address space is not sufficient to meet
the needs of an RIR for a projected 18 month period, IANA shall allocate
to that RIR the address space for which it can provide justification.

2.  Reservation of Unicast Address space.

2.1 IANA.  By RFC 3513 the IANA has been allocated the range of IPv6
addresses beginning at binary value 001 (prefix length /3) for its
allocations of unicast address space.  In order to support regional
aggregation of IPv6 address space IANA shall establish a reservation of a
prefix length of /6 from this space for each established RIR and for each
emerging RIR.  Allocations to each RIR will be from the appropriate
reservation.

2.2. RIRs.  Each RIR may apply its own respective chosen allocation and
reservation strategy in order to meet the needs of its community and to
ensure the efficiency and efficacy of its work.  Such reservations made by
an RIR will be considered as being allocated by that RIR when that RIR
applies for an allocation of address space from the IANA.

3.  Initial Allocation.

3.1. Upon implementation of this policy IANA shall allocate to each
established RIR a /12 from the reservation established for each particular
RIR.

3.2. Upon recognition of an RIR by ICANN that RIR shall receive a /12 from
the reservation set aside for that RIR.


4.  Subsequent Allocation.

An RIR shall be eligible for an allocation of at least a minimal
allocation from the IANA when its current holdings are less than 50% of
its 18 month requirement or when it has less than 180 days of holdings
available.  The IANA shall evaluate the requested allocation using a set
of administrative procedures that are mutually agreed to by the IANA and
the NRO.  This set of procedures shall be enacted within 30 days of the
implentation of this policy.


5.  Announcement of IANA allocations to the RIRs

When address space is allocated to a RIR, the IANA will send a detailed
announcement to the receiving RIR. The IANA will also make announcements
to all other RIRs, informing them of the recent allocation.

The IANA will make appropriate modifications to the "Internet Protocol V6
Address Space" page of the IANA website and may make announcements to only
its own global announcement lists.  The IANA announcements will be limited
to which address ranges, the time of allocation and to which Registry they
have been allocated.


Rationale:

The current IANA allocation policy for IPv6 is an interim policy that was
promulgated in 1999.  Operational experience has demonstrated the current
minimum allocation size is too small; that the built in reservation system
that must be followed by the RIRs does not allow for efficient and
effective management of the resource by the RIR; and does not provide for
an well known evaluation criteria.  This document does not stipulate
performance requirements in the provision of services by IANA to an RIR in
accordance with the policy.  Such requirements should be specified by
appropriate agreements between the NRO and ICANN.

Subject: [arin-announce] Planned Power Outage on Saturday, October 2
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.51.0409301456310.28492@ops.arin.net>

Due to a scheduled power outage for tenant construction in our building,
ARIN will be shutting down its internal services at our office on
Saturday, October 2. During this time, ARIN will be running external
services through its colocation facility, and expects no interruptions of
services with the exception of an outage with the credit card payment
processing system and the automated mail responder for our role accounts.
The outage will be from 6AM until approximately 3PM.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our members and all
in the Internet community.

ARIN Director of Operations
