[arin-ppml] 2016-3: Update and request for SUPPORT or OPPOSITION

[David R Huberman]

Hello,

In April, Jason Schiller and Scott Leibrand proposed a policy to allow
organizations to double their IPv4 address holdings via an 8.3 or 8.4
transfer without needs justification being performed up to certain size. The
draft policy text has been updated to define that "certain size" as a /16.
The Shepherds believe the data shows that the vast majority of transfer
requests ARIN approves are for /16 or less.

Below is the text.  Please indicate if you SUPPORT or OPPOSE the draft
policy, or if there are some changes you'd like to see that would allow you
to support it.

Thank you,
David

Problem Statement:

ARIN transfer policy currently inherits all its demonstrated need
requirements for IPv4 transfers from NRPM sections 4. Because that section
was written primarily to deal with free pool allocations, it is much more
complicated than is really necessary for transfers. This proposal allows
organizations using 80% of their current space to double their current
holdings via 8.3 or 8.4 specified transfers, up to a /16 equivalent.


In section 8.3, replace:
The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP
address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA.

with:

The recipient must sign an RSA and either:

- Demonstrate 80% utilization of their currently allocated space to qualify
to receive one or more transfers up to the total size of their current ARIN
IPv4 address holdings, with a maximum size of /16; or

- Demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address space under
current ARIN policies.

In section 8.4, replace:

Recipients within the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a
24-month supply of IPv4 address space.

with:

Recipients within the ARIN region must either:

- Demonstrate 80% utilization of their currently allocated space to qualify
to receive one or more transfers up to the total size of their current ARIN
IPv4 address holdings, with a maximum size of /16; or

- Demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IPv4 address space
under current ARIN policies.
