[arin-ppml] Prop-151: Limiting needs requirements for IPv4 transfers

[Alexander, Daniel]

PPML,

Do people think it is possible to consolidate the discussion of prop-151,
and 2011-1 to achieve a productive end result? If we could use "limiting"
to clarify rather than eliminate the issue of a needs-based requirement,
what aspects of a transfer policy still needs work? Here is some revised
text of prop-151 incorporating the discussions from the previous round.
Can this be used to address any concerns with 2011-1? I am curious to know
if this bulleted format is preferred over the current paragraph format of
the existing section 8.3.

-Dan Alexander


Changes to the original prop-151 text:

- Restored a needs requirement
- Eliminated the /12 cap
- Removed the suggestions to altering the text of the RSA.
- Removed the section regarding "Conditions on the IPv4 address block".
- Removed the condition of space being administered by ARIN to open the
possibility of inter-RIR transfers.
- Moved the minimum transfer size requirement down to remaining
Conditions.
- Separated in-region and inter-region transfers into separate sections.


Resulting text:

Replace Section 8.3 with

8.3 Transfers between Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region.

In addition to transfers under section 8.2, IPv4 numbers resources may be
transferred according to the following conditions.

Conditions on source of the transfer:

* The source entity must be the current registered holder of the
IPv4 address resources, and not be involved in any dispute as to
the status of those resources.
* The source entity will be ineligible to receive any further IPv4
address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12
months after the transfer, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's
IPv4 space, whichever occurs first.
* The source entity must not have received an allocation from
ARIN for the 12 months prior to the transfer.
* The minimum transfer size is a /24


Conditions on recipient of the transfer:

* The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 12 month supply of
IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA.
* The resources transferred will be subject to current ARIN policies.


Add Section 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients

Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the
transfer and share compatible, needs-based policies.

Conditions on source of the transfer:

* The source entity must be the current rights holder of the IPv4 address
resources recognized by the RIR responsible for the resources, and not be
involved in any dispute as to the status of those resources.
* Source entities outside of the ARIN region must meet any requirements
defined by the RIR where the source entity holds the registration.
* Source entities within the ARIN region will not be eligible to receive
any further IPv4 address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period
of 12
months after the transfer, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space,
whichever occurs first.
* Source entities within the ARIN region must not have received an
allocation or assignment from ARIN for the 12 months prior to the transfer.
* The minimum transfer size is a /24


Conditions on recipient of the transfer:

* The conditions on a recipient outside of the ARIN region will be defined
by the policies of the receiving RIR.
* Recipients within the ARIN region will be subject to current ARIN
policies and sign an RSA for the resources being received.
* Recipients within the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a
12 month supply of IPv4 address space.
* The minimum transfer size is a /24
