[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 2008-4 Discussed at ARIN Caribbean Sector Meeting

[Ricardo Patara]

Hello,

Regarding this policy proposal and also specially to the comment raised at ARIN
Caribbean Sector Meeting, that similar policy would be needed inside LACNIC region.

Such special policy for Caribbean sector is not needed in LACNIC, actually.
Currently there is already a "similar" policy and it applies to any
organization of the region.

Basically, under this policy, any ISP in the LACNIC region can request a /21
IPv4 block.
And to justify for such allocation, it has to show current efficient
utilization of a /22 or an immediate need for it. No need to be multihomed.

More details at:

3.3.1. Initial Allocations to Internet Service Providers

>Suzanne Woolf, as a representative of the Advisory Council, presented

>previous policy in effect for the African portion of the ARIN region 
>before AfriNIC became an RIR.

>Attendees asked for data on the number of organizations that would 
>benefit from this policy. Leslie Nobile said that there have been 34 
>resource requests for allocations, assignments, and AS numbers between 
>March 2007 and March 2008 and that of those received, about 50 percent 
>were approved. Leo Bicknell asked if it would useful for this proposal 
>to include assignments to end-users. Several attendees spoke in favor of 
>such a revision, saying it would help foster competition and liberalize 
>the industry in the Caribbean.
