ARIN-prop-137 Global Policy for post exhaustion IPv4 allocation
mechanisms by the IANA

Proposal Originator: Philip Smith
   co-authors: Alejandro Acosta, Nicolas Antoniello, S. Moonesamy,
   	Douglas Onyango, Medel Ramirez, Masato Yamanishi

Proposal Version: 1

Date: 8 March 2011

Proposal type: new

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

  The IANA shall establish a Recovered IPv4 Pool to be utilized post
  RIR IPv4 exhaustion.  The Recovered IPv4 Pool will initially contain
  any fragments that may be left over in the IANA.  It will also hold
  any space returned to the IANA by any other means.

  The Recovered IPv4 Pool will be administered by the IANA.  It will
  contain:

    a.  Any fragments left over in the IANA inventory after the last
        /8s of IPv4 space are delegated to the RIRs

       - The IANA inventory excludes "Special use IPv4 addresses" as
	 defined in BCP 153 and any addresses allocated by the IANA
	 for experimental use.

    b.  Any IPv4 space returned to the IANA by any means.

  The Recovered IPv4 Pool will stay inactive until the first RIR has
  less than a total of a /9 in its inventory of IPv4 address space.

  When one of the RIRs declares it has less than a total of a /9 in
  its inventory, the Recovered IPv4 pool will be declared active, and
  IP addresses from the Recovered IPv4 Pool will be allocated as
  follows:

    a.  Allocations from the IANA may begin once the pool is declared
        active.

    b.  In each "IPv4 allocation period", each RIR will receive a
        single "IPv4 allocation unit" from the IANA.

    c.  An "IPv4 allocation period" is defined as a 6-month period
        following 1 March or 1 September in each year.

    d.  The IANA will calculate the size of the "IPv4 allocation unit"
        at the following times:

        - When the Recovered IPv4 Pool is first activated
        - At the beginning of each IPv4 allocation period

        To calculate the "IPv4 allocation unit" at these times, the
        IANA will use the following formula:

            IPv4 allocation unit = 1/5 of Recovered IPv4 pool,
                                   rounded down to the next CIDR
                                   (power-of-2) boundary.

	No RIR may get more than this calculation used to determine
	the IPv4 allocation unit even when they can justify a need for
	it.

	The minimum "IPv4 allocation unit" size will be a /24.  If the
	calculation used to determine the IPv4 allocation unit results
	in a block smaller than a /24, the IANA will not distribute
	any addresses in that IPv4 allocation period.

    The IANA may make public announcements of IPv4 address
    transactions that occur under this policy.  The IANA will make
    appropriate modifications to the "Internet Protocol V4 Address
    Space" page of the IANA website and may make announcements to its
    own appropriate 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 policy provides a mechanism for the ongoing distribution of
   IPv4 address space, while removing the areas that have been
   problematic in previous attemts at this proposal. The proposal:

    - Permits regional variation in runout policy amongst RIRs to
      be accounted for in the distribution of the Recovered IPv4 Pool

    - Prevents the possibility of a single RIR being eligible to
      be allocated the entire Recovered IPv4 Pool in the first
      (and perhaps only) allocation period

    - Removes two areas of policy that have failed to reach
      agreement in previous attempts at this proposal:

       - How addresses should be placed in the Recovered IPv4 Pool
       - References to how transfers should or should not take
         place

Timetable for implementation:

   Once consensus has been reached in each of the 5 RIR regions, the
   policy will be forwarded to ICANN for approval and then implemented
   by the IANA.

Subject: [arin-announce] Counting Down to Online Resource Requests,
 New Templates, RESTful Provisioning and More!
Message-ID: <4D77DE39.7040308@arin.net>

On 19 March, ARIN will deploy the biggest system update in the history 
of ARIN Online along with launching our new RESTful Provisioning system.
This deployment will change the way all customers do business with ARIN, 
and we want to take this opportunity to remind you of what is in store.

It is critical to note that all initial and additional requests for 
Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6, and ASNs) will only be processed 
through ARIN Online. This means you will be able to complete your 
request via an online form, upload any required documentation, and all 
subsequent communication, excluding securing officer attestation, will 
be tracked directly in the ticket history for the request. ARIN Online 
can also be used to submit IPv4 and IPv6 network modifications, ASN 
modifications, and for all types of POC and Org management.

Because there are a number of actions that customers prefer to automate, 
ARIN is also releasing updated templates (Version 5). This template set 
includes POCs, Orgs, reassignments, reallocations, and Network 
Modifications. The nameserver fields are being removed from the Version
5 templates; nameservers will be managed using the ARIN Online 
delegation management system. The new templates are available for 
preview at:

https://www.arin.net/features/template_changes.html

All templates will require the inclusion of an API key for added 
security and authentication. Details on API keys are available at:

https://www.arin.net/features/api_keys.html

All of the transactions that are available using the Version 5 templates 
can also be automated using the RESTful Provisioning system which will 
also be released at this time. Documentation on ARIN?s RESTful methods 
and payloads can be found at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/restful-interfaces.html

We have created a chart to help you visualize which actions can be 
performed via ARIN Online, RESTful Provisioning, and Version 5 
templates. The guide, Interacting with ARIN?s Registration Services, is 
available for preview at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/interacting.html

ARIN is also releasing the previously mentioned ARIN Online delegation 
management system. We have created a flash tutorial on the new DNS 
management interface. We encourage you to view the tutorial which 
demonstrates how to use ARIN Online for delegation management along with 
new DNSSEC functionality.

https://www.arin.net/knowledge/dnssec/

If you have further questions about these template changes or other 
upcoming features, please email hostmaster at arin.net.

ARIN-prop-138 IPv6 Size Category Alignment

Proposal Originator: Charles Gucker

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 14 March 2011

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

For IPv6 ISP Classification, the "Size Category" shall be determined
based on the following schedule:

X-small    /32 or smaller
Small      /31 to /30
Medium     /29 to /27
Large      /26 to /24
X-large    /23 to /20
XX-large          /20 and larger

Rationale:

Since the adoption of ARIN Policy 2001-4 and the introduction of the
IPv6 fee schedule there has existed a discontinuity between the fee
schedule and the policy language.   As the policy is written,
"6.5.1.1. Initial allocation size Organizations that meet at least one
of the following criteria are eligible to receive a minimum allocation
of /32. ?",  However, the fee schedule currently states that an ISP
within the X-Small category be allocated "smaller than /40" and the
Small category of "/40 to /32".   As a result, with current policy an
existing ISP within the X-Small category, when requesting the minimum
IPv6 allocation, would have to jump Size categories to receive their
IPv6 Allocation.  With the IANA IPv4 runout behind us, it is important
to eliminate all hurdles for existing Organizations to receive IPv6
allocations, even the X-Small.   This proposal is intended to do just
that by aligning the Size Category with current policy.

Timetable for implementation: immediate

ARIN XXVII has a couple changes to the normal premeeting/Open Policy 
Hour agenda. The timing and content of both the Open Policy Hour and 
First Timer sessions have changed.

The Open Policy Hour (OPH) will now take place Tuesday afternoon within 
the Public Policy Meeting. The OPH is not for discussion of draft 
policies that are already on the ARIN XXVII agenda. It is for new ideas 
and suggestions. If you have a policy idea that you would like to 
receive feedback on prior to submitting a proposal, this is your 
opportunity.

Sign up by Friday, 1 April to ensure your chance to take the microphone. 
Send an email to policy at arin.net with your name, organization, and a 
general description of the policy subject you wish to present. You do 
not need to have a formal presentation in order to participate. Signing 
up in advance allows us to confirm your turn to present, but is not 
required.

The First Timers Orientation will be at 2:00 PM on Sunday. This session 
will be an ?ARIN 101?, an overview of the Policy Development Process, 
and a preview of the Draft Policies which will be presented and 
discussed later at the Public Policy Meeting. You don?t have to be a 
first timer to attend, all are welcome.

Subject: [arin-announce] New ARIN Online Features and RESTful Provisioning
 Released 19 March 2011
Message-ID: <4D874E89.3090604@arin.net>

ARIN is pleased to announce the successful release of resource requests 
and Delegation Management via ARIN Online functionality and our RESTful 
Provisioning System.

Beginning today, all initial and additional requests for IPv4 and IPv6 
addresses and ASNs must now be submitted through ARIN Online. All 
correspondence on requests can be managed through your Message Center 
for easy tracking. You may also modify networks and ASNs using ARIN Online.

ARIN now supports per-delegation management of nameservers and the 
provisioning of secure delegations through Domain Name System Security 
Extensions (DNSSEC). Both nameservers and DS Records are managed via 
ARIN Online only. As part of the change to the per-delegation model, 
ARIN now also supports delegation searches in Whois. A brief tutorial 
has been created to assist you in using this new functionality:

https://www.arin.net/knowledge/dnssec/index.html

ARIN's RESTful interface allows users to continue to automate their 
requests to ARIN while providing stronger authentication than mail-from 
authorization used with email templates. Users need an API Key to use 
ARIN's RESTful interface, and to have an ARIN Online account linked to a 
POC authoritative to make the request. Full details on the RESTful 
Provisioning system are available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/restful-interfaces.html

For information on API Keys, refer to:

https://www.arin.net/features/api_keys.html

In addition to implementing the new per-delegation zone model for 
Reverse DNS and the RESTful Provisioning system, we also updated a set 
of templates that include an API Key field. You will need to go in to 
ARIN Online and create an API Key if you wish to use these templates. 
Your ARIN Online account must also be linked to a POC authoritative to 
make the request.

We have created a chart to help you visualize which actions can be 
performed via ARIN Online, RESTful Provisioning, and Version 5 
templates. The guide, Interacting with ARIN?s Registration Services, is 
available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/interacting.html

Please note: Per requests from the community, ARIN now limits the ARIN 
Online functionality and database access available to invalid POCs 
identified by ARIN?s POC Validation Process (NRPM Policy 3.6). These 
changes are intended to further improve the accuracy of POC data in 
ARIN's Whois. Users must validate their invalid POCs prior to requesting 
services and database changes.
ARIN Online accounts provide access to all of the features listed at:

Subject: [arin-announce] New to the STLS - Facilitators
Message-ID: <4D87687C.8070704@arin.net>

ARIN is pleased to announce a change to the Specified Transfer Listing 
Service (STLS). A new STLS user category has been added; one pertaining 
to individuals wishing to serve as STLS Facilitators and assist 
organizations that wish to coordinate a transfer.

Facilitators, while not stakeholders in the resources designated for 
transfer themselves, will interface with client organizations with, and 
in need of, IPv4 addresses to help accomplish a specified transfer in 
accordance with ARIN policy. Facilitators will be able to view listers 
and needers for the purpose of contacting either party in order to bring 
needers and listers together to facilitate an 8.3 transfer.

This service is available only through ARIN Online, so any individual 
who wishes to register in this capacity will be required to create an 
ARIN Online account and accept both the ARIN Online and the STLS Terms 
of Service. Facilitators will also be subject to the $100 annual STLS 
participation fee.

Provisioning interface on Sunday afternoon! You?ll also want to get

evening, ARIN and our social event sponsor .PR Top-Level Domain, invite 
all attendees to join us at The Latin Roots: Puerto Rico's hottest Latin 
dance club!

People from all over the ARIN region will be in San Juan to voice their 
opinions during the draft policy discussions during ARIN XXVII, but 
vital opinions need not be conveyed in-person to be effective! If 
traveling to San Juan is out of the question, ARIN offers a terrific 
remote participation experience. There will be chat rooms for voicing 
your opinions during discussions, as well as a live streaming transcript 
so you won?t miss a beat!

For all the details, visit https://www.arin.net/ARIN-XXVII/remote.html. 
We would like to thank AT&T for their generous sponsorship of the 
network connectivity for the meeting, which helps make these remote 
participation options possible.

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Responds to NTIA Request for Comments on IANA
	Functions
Message-ID: <4D94ED01.8030209@arin.net>

On March 31, 2011, ARIN submitted a response to the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Request for 
Comments on the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 
currently performs the IANA functions, on behalf of the United States 
Government, through a contract with NTIA. Because the current contract 
expires on 30 September 2011, the NTIA opened a request for public 
comment on ways to enhance the performance of the IANA functions in the 
development and award of a new IANA functions contract.

The ARIN response is available at:
