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

[Ricardo Patara]

Hello,
Just to correct myself.

Where I wrote that organization should demonstrate a utilization of /22, one
should read demonstrate a utilization of /23.

the correct statement would be:

  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 /23 or an immediate need for it. No need to be multihomed.


Regards
Ricardo Patara

>>Policy Proposal 2008-4
>>Minimum Allocation in the Caribbean Region
>>
>>On 21 May, ARIN held a Caribbean Sector Meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, to 
>>discuss active policy proposals in the ARIN region and gain a Caribbean 
>>perspective on ARIN policies and procedures.
>>
>>Suzanne Woolf, as a representative of the Advisory Council, presented 
>>the proposal and outlined its specific requirements. Ray Plzak and Leo 
>>Bicknell provided additional information about the proposal's history 
>>and creation, including that this proposal's text is largely based on a 
>>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.
>>
>>Complete notes from the discussion about "Policy Proposal 2008-4: 
>>Minimum Allocation in the Caribbean Region" are available at 
>>http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/carib_spring_08/csm1_notes.html#anchor_13.

>>The full report of that meeting, which includes presentations and 
>>summary notes, is available on the ARIN website at
