[arin-discuss] Fwd: ARIN Suggestion: Thank you

[Owen DeLong]

I have submitted the following suggestion to the ACSP.

Combined with policy proposal 121, this should provide relief to those who were concerned
about the fee discrepancy between IPv4 and IPv6 for very small ISPs.

I encourage members to make their opinions of this suggestion known on this list or to the members of the board.

Owen

> Suggestion received and confirmed:
> 
> I suggest that the board change the IPv6 subscriber member fee table so that the cutoff between x-small and small is made such that a small provider is in the range /37 to /32 and an x-small provider is /36 or less.
> 
> There is currently no policy language that would enable the creation of a /40 under the subscriber allocation policy and none is under consideration. There is consideration for /36s under proposal 121 which the AC has moved to draft policy.
> 
> By making this change, if policy 121 is adopted, subscribers currently in the x-small IPv4 category will have the option of obtaining allocations of /36 without an annual fee increase.
> 
> Several such providers have indicated on PPML and in other fora that the fee increase is serving as a barrier to their adopting IPv6. It is a failure of our stewardship responsibilities to ignore this community need.
