Policy Proposal 122: Reserved Pool for Future Policy Development

Proposal Originator: Martin Hannigan

Proposal Version: 1.0

Date: 18 Nov 2010

Proposal type: Delete, Temporary

Policy term: October 20, 2011 00:00 UTC

Policy statement:

Upon receipt of the last /8 that the IANA will allocate to ARIN per the
Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space,
ARIN will place a contiguous /10 in a reserved pool for a use to be
determined at a later date. If adopted, this proposal will delete
Section 4.10 permanently and then expire per the policy term.

Rationale:

During the attempted fix of Section 4.10 we had consensus that 4.10 was
insufficient and potentially damaging and unbalanced with respect to
transition efforts.  This will provide for time to review  our current
depletion strategy and improve upon it to the benefit of the entire
community.

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
