This may seem a stupid question, but since we now want to accept that
accuracy is a principle task of registries, what measure are we to use as
an acceptable measure of an accurate 'whois' or at the macro level, ' an
accurate registry service' ?......% of legacy holders participating on the
registry?

Einar,

Please update Section 203 Proposal with:



Problem Statement

The importance of maintaining accurate records in the ARIN database is
recognized as the Registries principal task and is not being debated.
The Registry is unable to responsibly fulfill this task. Many resource
holders are not incented through mutual benefits to participate in the
registry, the process or the community and instead operate
successfully outside of its bounds further hampering the mission of
accuracy.

Intent

To create a sustainable RIPE 605-like environment in the ARIN region that
provides mutual benefits to legacy holders and ARIN and in support of
vastly improved and accurate registry service.

Policy Changes

Section 1, Adds to "Principles"

Accuracy

The principle of Accuracy guarantees stakeholders that all reasonable
and mutually beneficial steps will be take to insure that the Registry
is as accurate as possible.

Fairness

The principle of Fairness guarantees stakeholders that they will be
treated fairly with respect to whatever class of resources they hold,
whether they are pre or post RIR assigned addresses.

Value Add

The principle of Value Add guarantees that the Registry, in its effort
to insure that all of the principles are applied equitably, will seek
to add value to all resource holders regardless of class by insuring
such thing as rapid update functionalities and reasonably easy
transfer administration.

Mutual Benefit

The principle of Mutual Benefit guarantees that ARIN will enter into
or dissolve contracts related to legacy resource holders in like
fashion of comparable Registries.


Section 2, Adds to "Definitions"

Legacy Internet Resource

Any Internet Resource obtained prior to or otherwise outside the
current system of hierarchical distribution (by allocation or
assignment) through the Regional Internet Registries.

Legacy Internet Resource Holder

The holder of a Legacy Internet Resource. Either by receiving these
resources directly or by receiving (part of) Legacy Internet Resources
from a Legacy Internet Resource Holder.

Registry Service Element

In practice, any Legacy Resource Holder actually avails of a subset of
the Registry Services mentioned above. Where it is necessary to
distinguish between the entire class of Registry Services and the
specific Registry Services actually provided in a particular case, the
latter are described as Registry Service Elements.

Subject: [arin-ppml] ARIN Draft Policy 2014-2 Improving 8.4 Anti-Flip
        Language

At the Advisory Council's meeting of Feb 20, discussion about Draft Policy
2014-2 concluded that there is a real issue with transfer restrictions of
address blocks between RIR jurisdictions for organizations having received
a different block of addresses from ARIN within the last 12 months (per
existing policy).

The current Draft Policy language is as follows with only the last sentence
being added from what is current ARIN policy:
"Source entities within the ARIN region must not have received a transfer,
allocation, or assignment of IPv4 number resources from ARIN for the 12
months prior to the approval of a transfer request. This restriction does
not include M&A transfers. Restrictions related to recent receipt of blocks
shall not apply to inter-RIR transfers within the same organization and its
subsidiaries."

The last sentence of this language was added to mitigate the problems
related by the author in the problem statement and from experience. The
author supported this change, however, some concern has been expressed on
the PPML and within the AC about the possibility of 'rinse and repeat'
abuse associated with the ease of establishing new subsidiaries and using
those transfers to get around the restrictions of the existing transfer
policy.

Three alternatives were primarily discussed and I wish to elicit feedback
from the community relative to each.

1. Use the existing last sentence as is and ask ARIN staff to be
particularly watchful for seeming abuse and to bring such back to the
community through regular Policy Experience Reports.  There was discussion
about this option suggesting that by the time abuse was recognized and
reported, and given limited existing free pool stocks and the extended
policy development cycle....this option may be moot.

2. Remove the clause 'and its subsidiaries' or modify it in such a way as
to mitigate the risk of a laundering of addresses through fraudulent
transfers, but this may still potentially limit the utility to
organizations who may have complex organizational structures in use
internationally.

3. Take an alternative tack and simply restrict transfers on a per-block
rather than a per-organization basis. e.g. 'No block acquired within the
past 24 months would be eligible for transfer.' (The time frame is of
course an arbitrary number at this point.)

If you believe this Draft Policy is improved most significantly by one of
the above alternatives, or through another alternative you can pose....I,
and the community would benefit from your input. Thanks,

Bill Darte

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"

Several options are being discussed regarding this proposal:

1. Use the existing last sentence as is and ask ARIN staff to be
particularly watchful for seeming abuse and to bring such back to the
community through regular Policy Experience Reports.  There was discussion
about this option suggesting that by the time abuse was recognized and
reported, and given limited existing free pool stocks and the extended
policy development cycle....this option is mute.

2. Remove the clause 'and its subsidiaries' and or modify it in such a way
as to mitigate the risk of a laundering of addresses through fraudulent
transfers, but potentially limit the utility of organizations who may have
complex organizations structures in use internationally.

3. Take an alternative tack and simply restrict the Inter-RIR re-org
transfer of the 'recently issued block' only, allowing other existing
blocks to be transferred without restriction by recent block acquisition.
This alternative seems to have been expressed and supported in the recent
Atlanta Public Policy Consultation.

It is my opinion that option 3 is perilous in that it allows a large
resource holder to sell off their address space out of region while
backfilling from the ARIN free pool.

As such, I am much more comfortable with option 2. One set of language that
was suggested which I like is:

??subsidiaries having been operational for a minimum of 18 months.?

While this might not prevent all possible subsidiary-based rinse-repeat
abuse scenarios, it would at least prevent the obvious subsidiary created
for this purpose scenario and certainly provides better protections than
proposal number 3.

I think option 1 is probably an unfair burden for the ARIN staff and makes
policy vague in a way that would be difficult, if not impossible, to
reliably enforce and may be even harder to defend in the event of
litigation. This is strictly my own opinion as a member of the community
and I have not discussed the matter with legal council or even the other
members of the AC.
