[ppml] ARIN Policy Proposal 2002-9

[Trevor Paquette]

Isn't this virtually the same thing as 2002-3???

(The difference is that 2002-9 does not require
multi-homing).

*** Again I ask.. ARIN moved away from giving /24s to
*** individual companies years ago, and decided to let
*** the upstream ISPs handle it. There must have been
*** a reason for this. Does anyone know why? Were the
*** reasons recorded?

I'd hate to see this motion pass, only to repeat
history again and move back to where we are now. 

As for people complaining about their ISP charging for
IP space; either:
1) Find a different ISP (Capitalism at it's finest..)
2) Use it as a bargaining tool to get your monthly fees
   reduced. (I'm paying $X a month in IP fees.. I want
   my monthly fees reduced by $X as well. EVERYTHING is
   negotiable.)

> Organizations
> 
> Specific language to be adopted:
> Keep all the current IPV4 End-user Assignments language 
> except to change
> in third paragraph change /20 to /24:
> The new paragraph will read:
> The minimum block of IP address space assigned by ARIN is a /24. If

> Arguments for the Proposal and General Discussion of the Issue:
> I started a company in 1991 and was able to obtain a Class C license.
> Our company did well and grew to more than a hundred 
> employees. I left the
> company last year and started a new company. My old company still has
> the class C that I registered. (/24)
> My new company is growing but does not support the use of a 
> /20 address
> space. My ISP is charging me for every ip address I use. I never paid
> for ip address in the past and do not feel good about it now.
> We should have a policy in place that supports small 
> businesses and does
> not promote ripping off the small business's by the letting the large
> ISP's charge for each IP used.
> 
> Proposed Timetable for Implementation:
> To be voted October 30th for immediate implementation.
