[ppml] Suggestion for ARIN to deligate smaller IP blocks

[Leroy Ladyzhensky]

Thanks Scott...

what can be done to address ARIN's concern on a proposal like this?

the proposal can be viewed at 
http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2007-April/006601.html


I guess the ones that would need some thought is...1 and 3



A.	ARIN Staff

     1.	There is very little qualification criteria which could lead to
policy abuse by spammers.  These entities could create many different
accounts over time as their existing space gets blacklisted or becomes
otherwise unusable.

     2.	This could significantly increase the number of requests for
ARIN services thereby requiring additional Registration Services
Department and Financial Services Department staff.

     3.	Policy applies only to end users which could be perceived as
unfair to ISPs.  This could also lead to potential abuse of the policy
if ISPs apply as end users for single /24 IPv4 address block.

     4.	It is unclear exactly how an organization can qualify for a /24
IPv4 address block under this policy.  It appears that NRPM section
4.3.3, Utilization rate, requires 25% immediate, 50% within 1 year,
would be the justification criteria.  However, NRPM section 4.2.3.6,
Reassignments to multihomed downstream customers, indicates that an ISP
can reassign a /24 IPv4 address block without regard to planned host
counts as long as the customer is multi-homed.  The question here is
does this policy allow ARIN to qualify a requestor for a /24 IPv4
address block based solely on multi-homing or should host counts also be
taken into account?

     5.	The policy does not address requests for more than one /24 IPv4
address block for multiple sites.

     6.	NRPM Section 4.4, Micro-allocation, should remain as is since it
is a policy section essential for micro-allocation for critical
infrastructure related requests.
