Message-ID: <4A049616.8020705@arin.net>

At the request of the community, ARIN has created a downloadable slide

need to adopt IPv6.  Each slide includes presentation notes.

You may use the slide deck in whole, or select individual slides to 
supplement your own presentations.  ARIN is providing the slide deck as 
an open file for ease of use, but requests you not alter the content of 
the slides.  

The presentation is available at:

Policy Proposal: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for
Allocation of ASN Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet Registries

Proposal Originator: Stacy Hughes and Andrew de la Haye

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 29 May 2009

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

Modification of NRPM section 10.3 extending the deadline for an
undifferentiated ASN pool by 1 year to read:

1. Allocation Principles

IANA allocates ASNs to RIRs in blocks of 1024 ASNs. In this document the
term "ASN block" refers to a set of 1024 ASNs. Until 31 December 2010,
allocations of 16-bit and 32-bit only ASN blocks will be made separately
and independent of each other [1].

This means until 31 December 2010, RIRs can receive two separate ASN
blocks, one for 16-bit ASNs and one for 32-bit only ASNs from the IANA
under this policy. After this date, IANA and the RIRs will cease to make
any distinction between 16-bit and 32-bit only ASNs, and will operate
ASN allocations from an undifferentiated 32-bit ASN allocation pool.

Rationale:

a. Arguments supporting the proposal

Due to operational issues external to the IANA/RIR policy process,
32-bit only ASNs are not being issued by the RIRs at the anticipated
rate. As it stands, RIRs will likely not be able to justify a new block
of ASNs from the IANA after 31 December 2009 due to a glut of free 32
bit only ASNs in the RIR?s pool. This leaves available, essential 16-bit
ASNs stranded in the IANA free pool. This proposal seeks to remedy the
potential problem by extending the deadline for differentiation by one
year.

With this proposal the policy will be aligned with the actual reality in
regards to 32-bit ASN deployment and usage.

The subject was raised during RIPE 58 and a presentation was made:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-58/content/presentations/asn32-take-up-report.pdf

The feedback in this session suggested that a global policy proposal
should be developed and should be discussed.

b. Arguments opposing the proposal

Some may think that extending the previously set timeline can be
perceived as some discouragement for the deployment of 32-bit ASNs. One
counter argument to this is that RIRs and Internet community have some
other mechanisms and activities to raise awareness for 32-bit ASN pool
(via public presentations and trainings). These activities will continue
while 16-bit ASN blocks are still allocated to RIRs by the IANA as they
are available and they are needed.

Timetable for implementation: Immediately upon ratification by ICANN Board

Policy Proposal Name: Open Access To IPv6

Proposal Originator: Stacy Hughes and Cathy Aronson

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 29 May 2009

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

1) Remove ?by advertising that connectivity through its single
aggregated address allocation? from article 3 of section 6.5.1.1

2) Remove article 4 of section 6.5.1.1, ?be an existing, known ISP in
the ARIN region or have a plan for making at least 200 end-site
assignments to other organizations within 5 years? in its entirety.

Rationale: It is acknowledged that these concepts have been put before
the community in the past. However, with the wisdom of actual
operational experience, the necessity of promoting IPv6 adoption
throughout our region, and emerging native v6 only network models, it
becomes obvious that these modifications to the NRPM are necessary.
Removing the 200 end site requirement enables smaller, but no less
important and viable, networks access to IPv6. Removing the ?known ISP?
requirement enfranchises new, native v6 businesses that can drive
innovation and expansion in the Internet industry, as well as other
industries. Removing the requirement for a single aggregate announcement
benefits the NRPM itself, as it has been decided by the community that
it should not contain routing advice.

Timetable for implementation: immediately upon BoT ratification
