Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ARIN-prop-139 No reassignment without network service Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:56:51 -0400 From: ARIN To: arin-ppml at arin.net ARIN-prop-139 No reassignment without network service ARIN received the following policy proposal and is posting it to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) in accordance with the Policy Development Process. The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the proposal and announce the decision to the PPML. The AC invites everyone to comment on the proposal on the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Local Internet Registry (LIR) A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that primarily assigns address space to the users of the network services that it provides. LIRs are generally Internet Service Providers (ISPs), whose customers are primarily end users and possibly other ISPs. With: 2.4 Local Internet Registry (LIR) A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that assigns address space exclusively to the users of the network services that it provides. LIRs are Network Service Providers (ISPs or NSPs), whose customers may include end users and/or other ISPs/NSPs. Rationale: There has been discussion of late as to whether section 2.4 precludes registries which are not ISPs. In the RIPE region, their policy does not currently preclude such registries and there are a number of non-ISP registries which have created significant problems. While there are a few existing organizations in the ARIN region which reassign space without providing connectivity services, these have generally been for the purpose of building exchange points and other such critical infrastructure. As such, current ARIN policy provides mechanisms for such infrastructure organizations to deal directly with ARIN Current ARIN staff interpretation of section 2.4 is in line with the new proposed language. As such, this change will not have an operational impact, but, only serves to bring the policy language in line with current operational practice. Timetable for implementation: In effect, this policy is already implemented. For policy purposes, immediate.

The first set of zone files, generated and published on 20 March at approximately 2:00 AM EST, did not place name servers on some of the non-customer maintainable zones (169.254/16, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16). While the nameservers continued to display in ARIN's Whois service, the zone file generation software did not write these non-maintainable zones to the zone files. ARIN was notified of this omission in the evening of 9 April, and the zone file generation software was repaired and updated for the zone release on 10 April. The zone release on 10 April was visible at approximately 10:00 PM EDT and the non-customer maintainable zones were properly displayed. We apologize of any inconvenience that this may have caused. Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Fri Apr 15 08:00:05 2011 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 08:00:05 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] APNIC Announces its IPv4 Address Pool Reaches Final /8 Message-ID: <4DA83345.2080205@arin.net> APNIC announced that as of Friday, 15 April 2011, its IPv4 address pool reached the Final /8 IPv4 address block, bringing the Asia Pacific region to the last Stage of IPv4 exhaustion. This is a very important milestone on the IPv4 exhaustion process at a global level. This means that APNIC is now supplying IPv4 address space to its members from the last /8 it holds according to the guidelines in section 9.10 in "Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region": http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy This event does not affect ARINs IPv4 address supply or allocation policies. IPv4 depletion in the ARIN region will be driven by the rate at which qualifying requests are received. We cannot predict how long ARIN?s pool of IPv4 address space will last, but we will continue to distribute IPv4 address space in accordance with the policies documented in the Number Resource Policy Manual as long as there are addresses available. Now that the first Regional Internet Registry has issued their last IPv4 addresses, it is clear that the move to adopt IPv6 can?t be delayed. IPv6 addresses are in plentiful supply, and organizations should be working to facilitate their transition.

Effective immediately, the transferor of legacy address space is not required to have the resources under a current registration services agreement with ARIN. In the absence of a Legacy RSA or RSA, transfer requests may take longer than expected and/or not be completed at all, because the address holder must be verified and confirmed to be a valid transferor via the vetting process. Organizations with legacy resources are strongly encouraged to enter into a registration services agreement with ARIN prior to initiating a transfer to avoid these issues. Also note that in lieu of a Legacy RSA or RSA, ARIN requires an officer attestation from the claiming address holder in order to initiate the vetting process. This procedural change was implemented in order to remove what some organizations may have viewed as a burdensome requirement in the specified transfer process. Transfer process documentation on the ARIN website has been updated to reflect this procedural change. Additional reformatting and minor text edits were made to improve process clarity and to make it easier to complete the various types of transfers available in the ARIN region.

In response, ARIN developed specific goals to minimize our waste, maximize our current usage of resources, and reduce our carbon footprint. To date, we have stepped up our commitment to recycling aluminum cans, cardboard, and plastic containers. We have also replaced paper coffee cups with mugs so everyone can still get their caffeine without filling up the landfills. Now at the end of each Public Policy and Member Meeting we offer a ?badge amnesty? program where we collect meeting badge holders so they can be recycled for future use. And all Staff, Board, AC and ASO AC airline travel was coupled with the purchase of Travel Carbon Offsets in 2010. Several of our staff members have switched to hybrid vehicles and motorcycles for commuting, and a number even cycle to work in good weather ? that is no small thing in Northern Virginia! ARIN is pleased to be making strides with our green initiatives, and we will continue to seek new ways to reduce our carbon footprint while continuing to implement the programs we already have in place. Together we believe that green thinking and doing can make a difference. Happy Earth Day!

At that point, DNSSEC validation will occur from the root down if you properly set up your DNSSEC-aware recursive resolver. ARIN's DNSSEC initiative will be considered complete once these DS records are in place. For most DNSSEC-aware recursive resolver operators, nothing needs to be done for this change to be in effect as long as you have configured your DNSSEC-aware server to use ICANN's Key Signing Key (KSK) for the root zone. For those who have used ARIN's trust anchors (in place since 2 July 2009) to take advantage of DNSSEC before the root or in-addr.arpa was signed, you MUST remove them within the next two months of this date. Otherwise, DNSSEC validation may fail due to a KSK change. Additionally, ARIN will also coordinate with Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) to remove ARIN's delegations from their DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV) registry after setting up these records in in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa. The DS records will remain the same as the current trust anchor for the next two months. After that time, ARIN will begin rolling a KSK for its authoritative zones, which will cause any DNSSEC-enabled resolvers that use ARIN's statically configured trust anchors to fail. As always, ARIN welcomes community feedback regarding DNSSEC. Subscribe and participate on the arin-tech-discuss at arin.net mailing list if you have questions or comments.
