>> Draft Policy 2009-8
>> Equitable IPv4 Run-Out
>>
>> Version/Date: 24 November 2009
>>
>> Policy statement:
>>
>> Rename NRPM 4.2.4.3;
>>
>> 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year
>>
>> Replace NRPM 4.2.4.4 with;
>>
>> 4.2.4.4 Subscriber Members After One Year
>>
>> After an organization has been a subscriber member of ARIN for one year,

>>
>> When ARIN receives its last /8, by IANA implementing section 10.4.2.2,
>> the length of supply that an organization may request will be reduced.
>> An organization may choose to request up to a 3 month supply of IP
>> addresses.
>>
>> This reduction does not apply to resources received via section 8.3. An
>> organization receiving a transfer under section 8.3 may continue to
>> request up to a 12 month supply of IP addresses.
>>
>> Rationale:
>>
>> This policy is intended to ensure an equitable distribution of IPv4
>> resources as run-out of the ARIN free pool occurs. This is achieved by
>> changing section 4.2.4.4 of the NRPM to reduce the length of supply of
>> IPv4 resources that may be requested when the IANA free pool runs-out.
>> Equity is accomplished by reducing the window that an advantage or
>> disadvantage can exist between competitors, that will be created when
>> one competitor receives a final allocation just before run-out and
>> another competitor does not.
>>
>> Further this policy ensures equity between incumbent resource holders
>> and new entrants by providing the same length of supply for each as the
>> ARIN free pool runs out. This eliminates a potential bias toward
>> incumbent resource holders that is created as a result of ARIN free pool
>> run-out interacting with resource allocation slow start for new entrants
>> in current policy.
>>
>> This policy is similar to ideas in RIPE policy proposal 2009-03
>> (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2009-03.html), and has been
>> adapted by discussion and for use within the ARIN region.
>>
>> This policy is intended to be independent of other policies or proposals

>> This draft contains the elements that there seems to have been the

>>
>> Timetable for implementation:  Immediate
