[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-12: Anti-hijack Policy

[David Farmer]

I also realized that "and prohibit LOA's without allocations" needed to 
be removed from the description of the policy statement, for much the 
same reason as #2 below.  The annotated text below has been modified to 
strike-through this text as well.  There are no changes to the policy 
text that would go in the NRPM.  Also included below is a final clean 
version of the text.

If there are any comments, please get them in soon, otherwise I'll 
assume continued support for this draft as modified.

Thanks.

Here is the final clean version of the text;

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-12: Anti-hijack Policy

Date: 5 May 2014

Problem Statement:

ARIN should not give research organizations permission to hijack prefixes that have already been allocated. Research organizations announcing lit aggregates may receive sensitive production traffic belonging to live networks during periods of instability.

Section 11.7 describes more than allocation size therefore updating the section heading to something more accurate is appropriate.

Policy statement:

Modify the section 11.7 heading to be more accurate. Modify the first sentence to prohibit overlapping assignments. Add text at the end to define how research allocations should be designated.

11.7 Resource Allocation Guidelines

The Numbering Resources requested come from the global Internet Resource space, do not overlap currently assigned space, and are not from private or other non-routable Internet Resource space. The allocation size should be consistent with the existing ARIN minimum allocation sizes, unless small allocations are intended to be explicitly part of the experiment. If an organization requires more resource than stipulated by the minimum allocation sizes in force at the time of their request, their experimental documentation should have clearly described and justified why this is required.

All research allocations must be registered publicly in whois. Each research allocation will be designated as a research allocation with a comment indicating when the allocation will end.

Comments:
a. Timetable for implementation: Immediate
b. Anything else:
