[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-7: Section 4.4 Micro Allocation Conservation Update

[Martin Hannigan]

Following up from the PPC held at the NANOG in the Icepocalypse 2014
(Atlanta). There was support for this proposal, minus the administrative
language around fee class. As I had mentioned, removal of that language
makes sense. It was a cleanup of language that had already existed, there
may be an unintended consequence of removal. I'm sure the AC will figure
something out.

I did a spot check of 206.223.122-142 nets and found that I could validate
2 out of 20 to be in compliance with 4.4 policy. One was a test network
with a few personal machines on it, 206.223.132.0/24 (dis-aggregate of an
assigned /22) http://bgp.he.net/net/206.223.132.0/24#_dns and one that
appeared to be a defunct IXP block that was formerly associated with
PacBell, but now with another, PCH. I found one transferred to LACNIC (
206.223.124.0/24). I can't verify it's usage either.

The overall states were a) assigned to defunct entities, b) not used to
policy, c) participants < 2 > N Yrs, d) former use well known, later use
unknown.

That's not to say that these or more aren't actually valid. YMMV.

Best,
