[ppml] Policy Proposal: Expand timeframe of Additional Requests

[michael.c.loevner at verizon.com]

I support this proposal. I'm sure ARIN staff will continue to be diligent 
in ensuring that the address blocks assigned are justified over the period 
they are requested for.  I don't see it as encouraging a run on addresses, 
if people want to provide fake justification to get additional addreses 
for the purpose of hoarding, they can just as well do it over a 6 month 
period as a 12 month period.

[ppml] Policy Proposal: Expand timeframe of Additional Requests






ARIN received the following policy proposal. In accordance with the ARIN
Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process, the proposal is being
posted to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) and being placed on
ARIN's website.

The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review this proposal at their next
regularly scheduled meeting. The AC may decide to:

   1. Accept the proposal as a formal policy proposal as written. If the
AC accepts the proposal, it will be posted as a formal policy proposal
to PPML and it will be presented at a Public Policy Meeting.

   2. Postpone their decision regarding the proposal until the next
regularly scheduled AC meeting in order to work with the author. The AC
will work with the author to clarify, combine or divide the proposal. At
their following meeting the AC will accept or not accept the proposal.

   3. Not accept the proposal. If the AC does not accept the proposal,
the AC will explain their decision. If a proposal is not accepted, then
the author may elect to use the petition process to advance their
proposal. If the author elects not to petition or the  petition fails,
then the proposal will be closed.

The AC will assign shepherds in the near future. ARIN will provide the
names of the shepherds to the community via the PPML.

In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on this proposal on
the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning
behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough
vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Policy Proposal Name: Expand timeframe of Additional Requests

Author: Dan Alexander

Proposal Version: Version 1.0

Submission Date: 8/14/2007

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

The proposal is to modify section 4.2.4.4 of the NRPM

Current wording:
"After a subscriber has been a member of ARIN for one year they may
choose to request a six-month supply of IP addresses."

Change to:
"After an organization has been an ARIN member in good standing for one
year, they may choose to request up to a 12 month supply of IP addresses."


Rationale:

Currently, all RIR's provide organizations with at least a 12 month
supply of IPv4 address space when making subsequent requests, with the
exception of the ARIN region. The primary reason for this change is for
continuity among all RIR. In doing so, all established organizations
have a more consistent access to IP resources.

The adjustment does not change demand on IPv4 address space. It only
changes the frequency in which established organizations need to request
address space.

This would allow for fewer potential aggregates allocated to an
organization providing more consolidated routing announcements.

This does not change the requirement on new organizations where
established growth trends have yet to be established.


Timetable for implementation: Immediate
