[ARIN-consult] Question/Suggestion on ASN registration

[ARIN]

Hello Andrei,

 

Thank you for your post.  Our understanding is that you are proposing a policy to allow customers to reassign ASNs in the same way customers can reassign IP addresses. Such a proposal is best suited for consideration through the ARIN Policy Development Process (PDP).  You can submit a policy proposal to policy at arin.net using the template found here:

 

https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/appendix_b/

 

Note that policy proposals should not include details related to operational implementation or costs.

 

All proposals are handled according to the ARIN Policy Development Process. For more information see:

https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/.

 

ARIN will forward the proposal to the ARIN Advisory Council (AC). The Chair of the AC will assign shepherds who will reach out to you. The shepherds will work with you to ensure the proposal is clear and in-scope in preparation for review by the entire AC.

 

Thank you for your interest in ARIN Internet number resource policy, and we look forward to receiving your proposal.

 

Regards,

 

John Sweeting

Chief Customer Officer

Subject: [ARIN-consult] Question/Suggestion on ASN registration

 

Hello there,

Hope I sent this mail correctly.. I don't know if I should do anything before proposing things here... but I'll get straight to the point.

I was wondering if ARIN (and its members) would consider benefical a different approach towards AS numbers... somewhat similar to how RIPE works. More specifically I think would be a better way for LIR/ISP to be able to register AS numbers on behalf of it's customers.
For example, in our situation, we are on a "X-Small" plan; having up to 63 ASNs included in our plan scheme. Almost all companies would agree that 63 ASNs for a single entity is somehow too much. Most of us really use 1-5 ASNs at most.

Having the possibility to reallocate ASNs in the way we can reallocate unused IP space to end-users, would help us somehow to compensate the yearly fee we pay for membership, by charging a small amount on the End-User for the object maintenance.

Would that be something @ARIN would consider allowing LIRs to do?

Thank you,
Andrei.
