Policy Proposal 108: Eliminate the term license in the NRPM

Proposal Originator: David Farmer

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 2 February 2010

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: Permanent

Policy statement:

Delete section 6.4.1 and replace with a new section;

1.1 Number resources are not property

To serve the interests of the Internet community as a whole, number
resources are not property (real, personal, or intellectual). The
allocation and assignment of IP addresses, ASNs, and other number
resources are subject to the terms of the ARIN Registration Services
Agreement, the policies in this document, and any amendments as may be
made to either one.

Modify section 11.4 by removing ?on a lease/license basis?, leaving the
following;

11.4 Resource Allocation Term and Renewal

The Numbering Resources are allocated for a period of one year. The
allocation can be renewed on application to ARIN providing information
as per Detail One. The identity and details of the applicant and the
allocated Numbering Resources will be published under the conditions of
ARIN's normal publication policy. At the end of the experiment,
resources allocated under this policy will be returned to the available
pool.

Rationale:

As part of the discussion of Policy Proposal #106 the issue of the use
of the term ?license? in section 6.4.1 and that it is not likely in
harmony with the ARIN Registration Services Agreement was recognized.
The AC feels that this issue is important enough to make it a separate
Draft Policy that stands on its own.

This section could not be fixed by simple editorial changes and it
requires a complete rewrite in order to fix the issues. It was further
recognized that the concept that ?Number resources are not property? is
not exclusively an IPv6 issue and should be moved out of section 6, so
that it is clear that it applies to all number resources.

Finally, the rest of the NRPM was searched for any additional uses of
the term ?license?. One additional use was found in section 11.4, in
this case deleting it and a few other words surrounding it, fixes the
issue without significantly changing the meaning of the section.

Timetable for implementation: Immediate

Policy Proposal 109: Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements

Proposal Originator: Chris Grundemann

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 4 FEB 2010

Proposal type: Modify

Policy term: Permanent

Policy statement:

## Definitions ##

 - Add:

2.3. Organizational Information

When required, organization Information must include at a minimum:
Legal name, city, state, zip code equivalent and at least one valid
technical or abuse POC; inclusion of street address is highly
encouraged. The POC shall be designated by the organization and must
include at least one verifiable email address, inclusion of a phone
number is highly encouraged.

## IPv4 ##

 - Rename 4.2.3.7. "Reassignment information" to "Registration"

 - Rename 4.2.3.7.1. "Customer organization information" to
"Reassignment Information" and replace text with:

When an organization holding an IPv4 address allocation makes IPv4
address assignments, it must register reassignment information via
SWIP or RWHOIS server. SWIP and RWHOIS reassignments shall include
each client's organizational information, except where specifically
exempted by this policy.

 - Replace 4.2.3.7.6. Residential Customer Privacy with:

4.2.3.7.6. Residential Subscribers

4.2.3.7.6.1. Residential Market Area

In most cases, ISPs that have residential subscribers assign address
space to the infrastructure to which their customers connect rather
than to individual subscribers. This assignment information regarding
each market area holding an address block should be registered with
the network name used to identify each market area. Initial
allocations are based on total number of homes that could purchase the
service in a given market area. Each assignment to specific end-users
of /29 and larger blocks still requires individual registration.

4.2.3.7.6.2. Residential Customer Privacy

To maintain the privacy of their residential customers, an
organization with downstream residential customers holding /29 and
larger blocks 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 have accurate upstream Abuse
and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record for that block.

 - Strike section 4.2.6. "Cable Address Space Policy"

## IPv6 ##

 - Replace Section 6.5.5. with:

6.5.5. Registration

6.5.5.1. Reassignment information

When an organization holding an IPv6 address allocation makes IPv6
address assignments, it must register reassignment information in a
database, accessible by RIRs as appropriate (information registered by
an RIR may be replaced by a distributed database for registering
address management information in future). These reassignment
registrations shall include each client's organizational information,
except where specifically exempted by this policy.

6.5.5.2. /56 registered unit

Information is registered in units of assigned /56 networks. When more
than a /56 is assigned to a client organization, the assigning
organization is responsible for ensuring that the address space is
registered in an RIR database.

6.5.5.3. Submit within 7 days

Any time an LIR receives a new block of address space, reassignment
information should be submitted within 7 days of issuance of the new
space.

6.5.5.4. Visible via WHOIS

This information must be visible via WHOIS prior to submitting a
request for a new allocation. For further information on reassigning
IP address space, please see RFC 2050.

6.5.5.6. Residential Subscribers

6.5.5.6.1. Residential Market Area

In most cases, ISPs that have residential subscribers assign address
space to the infrastructure to which their customers connect rather
than to individual subscribers. This assignment information regarding
each market area holding an address block should be registered with
the network name used to identify each market area. Initial
allocations are based on total number of homes that could purchase the
service in a given market area. Each assignment to specific end-users
of /56 and larger blocks still requires individual registration.

6.5.5.6.2. Residential Customer Privacy

To maintain the privacy of their residential customers, an
organization with downstream residential customers holding /56 and
larger blocks 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 have accurate upstream Abuse
and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record for that block.


Rationale:

This proposal intends to do several things:
1) Bring IPv4 and IPv6 policy more in line with each other to make the
NRPM easier to understand and comply with - at least as it relates to
reassignment information.
2) Specifically define what organizational information is required to
be added to whois when reassignments are made to client organizations.
3) To specifically state that a client organization may designate the
POC of their choice for any/all whois entries. This includes
designating an upstream POC as their own prefered POC.
4) Expands the priviledges previously reserved solely for cable ISPs
to all ISPs/LIRs with residential subscribers. Namely the ability to
SWIP/RWHOIS an entire residential market area as one reassignment. It
also expands this priviledge to IPv6 reasignments, instead of just
IPv4 as it is now.

Timetable for implementation: Immediate

Message-ID: <4B8412E2.7080609@arin.net>

ARIN is currently offering a demonstration of the RESTful web service 
for Whois data contained within ARIN's registration database. The 
purpose of this demonstration is to solicit community feedback regarding 
the technical aspects of RESTful web technology as applied to ARIN's 
public Whois information service. We plan to replace ARIN's legacy Whois 
service with Whois-RWS by the end of 2010. For continued use of legacy 
WHOIS clients, we will include a WHOIS port 43 proxy service.

Access to the demo is available at: http://whoisrws-demo.arin.net/ui

Information about REST, the Whois web service and API details, is 
available for download on the demo page.

To participate in this demonstration, enter a query into the "Search 
WHOISRWS" box in the upper right corner of the demo page. By using this 
service, you are agreeing to the Whois Terms of Use.

Let us know what you think by registering and sending your feedback to 
the Whois-RWS Mailing list:

Subject: [arin-announce] Be Heard! APNIC Community Consultation Next Week
Message-ID: <4B854B92.5090107@arin.net>

Internet address management may be on the brink of change. The ITU 
(International Telecommunications Union) is studying the creation of an 
alternative International Internet Registry model to operate in parallel 
to the existing RIR model.

In collaboration with the NRO, APNIC is hosting a special session at 
APNIC 29 / APRICOT 2010 to give the global Internet community an 
opportunity to discuss the issues and ramifications of the alternative 
model proposed by the ITU.

APNIC invites all Members of the global Internet Community to 
participate at: IPv6 Address Management and ITU - Is an "additional 
parallel structure" required?

    Where:  APNIC 29, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    When:   14:00 - 15:30 (UTC +8), Wednesday, 3 March 2010

APNIC is an ITU-D sector Member and will attend the ITU IPv6 Working 
Group meeting in March that has been commissioned to study this issue in 
depth. APNIC will be reporting feedback from our Consultation to ensure 
community feedback is heard.

Topics of discussion
--------------------

1. Where is the demand for this alternative system coming from? Would
   competition between IP address management systems bring any
   benefits to current and future Internet stakeholders?

2. Is it realistic to expect the policies of an alternative model
   as proposed by the ITU, to be consistent with RIR policies? Would
   the possibility of nationalized addressing systems lead to divergent
   policy systems? What would be the risks to the Internet of divergent
   policy environments?

3. If the ITU were to become an Internet registry, how would the ITU
   model affect the existing RIR model of open, bottom-up, and
   consensus-driven policy-making?

Subject: [arin-announce] Pre-Meeting Events at ARIN XXV
Message-ID: <4B8592E7.5080602@arin.net>

We are putting together a great agenda for ARIN XXV; between policy 
discussions and updates and presentations on new developments and 
operations at ARIN there will be a lot of valuable information 
exchanged. As always, you will have many opportunities to ask questions 
and share your opinions on critical Internet resource issues.

We have so much to share, that our pre-meeting agenda for Sunday 18 
April has expanded beyond the First Timers' Luncheon and the 
Introduction to the Policy Development Process and Open Policy Hour (OPH).

There will be a special session for Web Hosting Providers to discuss how 
ARIN policy impacts their business and hear presentations of IPv6 
deployment case studies. Later in the afternoon, we will hold an ARIN 
Online demonstration to show you the latest releases to this 
functionality. After the OPH, join us for a happy hour to celebrate 
ARIN?s twenty-fifth community meeting.

Details on all pre-meeting events are available at:
https://www.arin.net/ARIN-XXV/premeeting.html

Check back often - we will post a draft agenda for the Public Policy and 
Members Meeting soon.

Register today to participate in ARIN XXV online or in person. Don?t 
forget to make your hotel reservation soon. Rooms are filling up and the 
reserved block will likely be fully booked before the special rate 
expires on 1 April.
