[ppml] ARIN 2002-3 statistics

[Loevner, Michael]

Hello,

The meeting coming up in April will still leave less than a year since
the implementation of this policy (May 17th, 2003).  I agree with Jim
that in the world of ARIN policy, news spreads to the little guys very
slowly. 

IMO, we should wait until a year has passed until we evaluate this
policy further and can truly understand the impact.  The April meeting
is too early to consider a further reduction of the minimum allocation
size for multi-homed organizations unless something happens between now
and then that really spreads the word to smaller network operators.  I
do agree that we should be presented with statistics on these
allocations in April.  I think the statistics should be broken down on a
monthly basis so we can see any trends in the number of allocations
throughout the time period that the policy has been in effect.

If there does end up being a change in the policy, I think we should go
one bit at a time and continue to gauge the effect of the reduction.
Also, these allocations should still be restricted to multi-homed
organizations.

Thanks,

Mike Loevner

In my part of the world--- 2 service providers and 3 of my customers
	did not know.. (all that we asked) One customer currently has 
	3 Class C's from 2 providers...(yeah, this is a bad one)
	All 3 of those enterprise customers are now considering the
application.

Personnally, I think it should wait 1 calender year.....
6 months is barely enough time to consider.

I think we should wait, maybe someone on the AC should write And article
to Network World or something, and start the land rush.

YES, put it on the calender and then see what the membership and PPML
says...

I think it should be changed to read:
Multi-homed networks will be assigned /22, /23 or /24 allocations based
on Utilization and needs in-line with other allocations and assignments
covered in 
Other policies...

Thanks,
Jim
