Draft Policy ARIN-2015-11
Remove transfer language which only applied pre-exhaustion of IPv4 pool

Date: 23 September 2015

Problem Statement:

The current policies in NRPM sections 8.3, and 8.4 include language 
which is in effect "until exhaustion." As ARIN is no longer able to 
fulfil IPv4 requests (per 01 July 2015 press release 
https://www.arin.net/about_us/media/releases/20150701.html), exhaustion 
has effectively occurred. This proposal serves to remove the outdated 
language from the NRPM.

Policy statement:

Remove sections of the NRPM which were only affective until IPv4 pool 
exhaustion occurred, as follows:

Section 8.3 Transfers between Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region:
- Remove entirely the second bullet which reads "The source entity will 
be ineligible to receive any further IPv4 address allocations or 
assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months after a transfer 
approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, whichever occurs 
first."

Section 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients:
- Remove entirely the third bullet which reads "Source entities within 
the ARIN region will not be eligible to receive any further IPv4 address 
allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months after a 
transfer approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, 
whichever occurs first."

Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
