[Member Services]

The ARIN Advisory Council (AC), acting under the provisions of the ARIN
Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process (IRPEP), has reviewed policy
proposal 2004-3: Global Addresses for Private Network
Inter-Connectivity and has determined that while there is no
community consensus in favor of the proposal there is consensus that the
proposal should be revised and discussed further.  The AC made this
determination at their meeting at the conclusion of the ARIN Public Policy
meeting in October, 2004.  Minutes of this meeting are available at
http://www.arin.net/library/minutes/ac/ac2004_1021.html.

The AC will work with the author of the proposal to make the community
suggested revisions and return the proposal to the ppml for further
discussion.

The current policy proposal text is provided below and is also available

Policy Proposal 2004-3: Global Addresses for Private Network
Inter-Connectivity

Policy statement:

Private networks may obtain global addresses for private network usage.
Hosts within the administrative control of a single organization should
still use private address space in accordance with RFC-1918 and RFC-2050.
Private networks may receive global IP's for private Interconnectivity if
they have already used private IP space in accordance with RFC-1918 and
RFC-2050 and any further use of private IP space would result in network
conflicts.
