[arin-ppml] LAST CALL: Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2013-7: NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup

[Azinger, Marla]

What happened to the And vs OR wording?  Seriously this is a problem.  I understand some people didn't follow the linguistics of this, but as someone who has dealt with this type of thing already, if you don't change the wording you will mess up companies. 

John Sweeting I know you understood this point.  Could you please way in here with AC and BOT before this is passed?  I don't see the added sentence changing this issue as long as the other sentence is included as is.

-Replace and retitle section 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year   
If you fix the wording this change is okay.  This needs to say AND not OR.  
A business can purchase a business set in the same year they need to do a market transfer of addresses.  this should not be limited 
to either or as that is ignorant of how organizations can function.  Replace with: (4.2.4.3 Request size)

needed change in wording:  "ISPs may request up to a 3-month supply of IPv4 addresses from ARIN, or a 24-month supply via 8.3 "AND" 8.4 transfer."

Thank you
Marla

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2013-7
NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup

Date: 16 May 2014

AC's assessment of conformance with the Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy:

"ARIN-2013-7: "NRPM 4 (IPv4) Policy Cleanup" enables fair and impartial number resource administration by removing no-longer-relevant sections of the NRPM, and clarifying other sections. All of the remaining changes in this draft policy have proven uncontroversial thus far."

Problem Statement: Parts of NRPM 4 are irrelevant, especially after IPv4 run-out, and should be cleaned up for clarity.

Policy statement:

Short list of changes with details explained below.

Remove section 4.1.1 Routability

Update section 4.1.5 Determination of resource requests

Remove section 4.1.7 RFC2050

Remove section 4.1.9 Returned IPv4 Addresses

Replace and retitle section 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year

Remove section 4.2.4.4. Subscriber Members After One Year

Details:

Remove section 4.1.1 Routability

It is no longer necessary for the NRPM to suggest where an organization obtains resources from.

Retitle and rewrite section (4.1.5 Determination of IP address allocation size)

Remove: "Determination of IP address allocation size is the responsibility of ARIN."

Replace with: (4.1.5 Resource request size) "Determining the validity of the amount of requested IP address resources is the responsibility of ARIN."

Rationale: Clarify that it is the validity of the request that is more the focus than the amount of resources requested. This does not prevent ARIN from suggesting that a smaller block would be justified where a larger one would not, but also does not suggest that it is ARIN's sole discretion to judge the size of the blocks needed.

Remove section 4.1.7 RFC2050

Now that RFC2050 has been replaced with RFC 7020 and ARIN-2013-4 RIR Principles has been adopted, this section is no longer needed.

Remove section 4.2.4.3 Subscriber Members Less Than One Year and 4.2.4.4. Subscriber Members After One Year

Replace with: (4.2.4.3 Request size) "ISPs may request up to a 3-month supply of IPv4 addresses from ARIN, or a 24-month supply via 8.3 or 8.4 transfer. Determination of the appropriate allocation to be issued is based on efficient utilization of space within this time frame, consistent with the principles in 4.2.1."

Rationale: Since ARIN received its last /8, by IANA implementing section 10.4.2.2, this is now a distinction without a difference.

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
