[arin-ppml] Discussion Petition for Proposal 109 - Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements

[Azinger, Marla]

I support this petition.  The latest text in this petition is technically sound, makes sense and is needed.  Breaking it down into bite sizes could be done but I don't see it as necessary.  Put together as it is right now, actually creates connection and flow to the pieces within it.

Cheers
Marla

Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Discussion Petition for Proposal 109 - Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements

The message below started a petition regarding the ARIN Advisory Council's decision not to select "Policy Proposal 109. Standardize IP Reassignment Registration Requirements" as a draft policy at this time.
The AC's decision was posted by ARIN staff to PPML on 20 July 2010.

If successful, this petition will change Proposal 109 into a Draft Policy which will be published for adoption discussion on the PPML and at the Public Policy Meeting in October. If the petition fails, the proposal will remain on the AC's docket.

For this petition to be successful, the petition needs statements of support from at least 10 different people from 10 different organizations. If you wish to support this petition, post a statement of support to PPML on this thread. Point of contact information is required, either to the entire PPML or with a follow up post to petition at arin.net with full POC information (name, organization, street address, email, phone).

The duration of the petition is until through five business days after the AC's draft meeting minutes are published. ARIN staff will post the result of the petition to PPML.

For more information on starting and participating in petitions, see PDP Petitions at:

> Rationale:
>
> #Changes in this version:
> After many conversations both at and following the last public policy
> meeting in Toronto, some revisions have been made. These all address
> specific concerns raised by multiple interested parties:
> 1) Organizational Information - Phone number, street address and abuse
> POC now required.
> 2) Residential Customer - Added "for personal use only" to the
> definition.
> 3) Registration (4.2.3.7 & 6.5.5) - Added "but not limited to" WRT
> assignment histories.
> 4) IPv6 - Requires all /64 and larger blocks to be registered.
> 5) Resource Review - Added this section.
>
> #Short Rational:
> This proposal intends to do several things:
> 1) Bring IPv4 and IPv6 policy more in line with each other to make the
> NRPM easier to understand and comply with - at least as it relates to
> reassignment information.
> 2) Specifically define what organizational information is required to
> be added to WHOIS when reassignments are made to client organizations.
> 3) To specifically state that a client organization may designate the
> POC of their choice for any/all WHOIS entries in policy. This includes
> designating an upstream POC as their own preferred POC (which allows
> for simple reassignments).
> 4) Expands the privileges previously reserved solely for IPv4 cable
> ISPs to all ISPs/LIRs with residential/dhcp-type subscribers.
> 5) Specifically define the term "residential customer."
> 6) Allow ARIN to conduct resource reviews based on failure to comply
> with registration / reassignment policies.
>
> #Expanded Rational:
> 1) This policy restructures the reassignment and registration sections
> of the IPv4 and IPv6 policies.
> a) The IPv4 section is renamed "registration."
> b) The IPv4 policy is shortened and rewritten for clarity.
> c) The IPv6 policy is totally rewritten in a format that matches the
> IPv4 policy.
> * These structural changes are meant to make it easier to compare the
> two sections. I believe that having the IPv6 and IPv4 policies written
> in completely different formats and structures (as they are in many
> cases now) confuses the issues and makes it very hard to understand
> what is different and what is the same across the two sections.
> Bringing them into a similar format should help ease the migration to
> IPv6 as folks can quickly and easily understand the differences and
> the similarities.
> d) The IPv6 policy is altered from a /56 minimum needing to be
> registered to a /64. A /64 is a single IPv6 subnet where as a /56
> contains many subnets (that should all be recorded in the WHOIS
> directory if handed out to other organizations).
>
> 2) This policy adds a definition of "organizational information" which
> is used in the existing policy but not currently defined anywhere in
> the NRPM.
> a) The definition states that legal name and physical address are
> required for client organizations.
> b) The definition states that POCs are required but can be designated
> by the client organization - it spells out that the client org can
> choose to use their upstream as a POC.
> c) The definition requires that each POC have a valid email address
> and phone number.
>
> 3) This policy takes the privileges granted specifically to IPv4 cable
> operators in section 4.2.6. "Cable Address Space Policy" and grants
> them to all ISPs who serve residential areas.
> a) It allows all ISPs with residential coverage to
> register/swip/rwhois an entire market area.
> b) It retains the existing residential customer privacy policy for all
> customers with larger IP blocks.
> * This change removes the need for any ISP to enter residential
> customers into whois at all.
>
> 4) This policy also extends the >50% utilization rate, currently
> granted only to IPv4 cable operators, to all ISPs with a residential
> footprint.
> * This change offsets the ability to register/swip/rwhois market
> areas. For all other allocation types, efficient utilization is based
> on SWIPs, not on actual utilization. When an organization is able to
> SWIP an entire market area, this must be checked against actual
> utilization. This policy maintains the current line set at >50%.
> **The 50% mark on the most recent allocation is because you can
> quickly distribute most of your address space across your provisioning
> footprint, leaving nothing left for growth while the lease count of
> the provisioned customers catches up to the blocks allocated. (Dan
> Alexander's words)
>
>
> 5) Current policy references "residential customers" but there is no
> current definition of residential customers in the NRPM. This has
> reportedly been an on-going problem for ARIN and it's customers.
>
> 6) Not properly registering reassignment information could be a sign
> of other improper or illicit behavior and should justify a resource
> review (audit) by ARIN when necessary, regardless of when the last
> review took place.
