[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal Idea: Reassignment records for IPv4 End-Users

Tue Jul 14 16:00:04 EDT 2015

"... parents own a controlling share" language would cause me to argue against it.
There are other entities using /28s inside my /24 that I'd like to SWIP just to avoid the abuse@ notifications (one of them has generated a few already!), but although there's a good technical and contractual justification for giving those entities their own distinct subnets, they have nothing more than a contractual relationship with me.  Yet I'm still not an ISP as far as I'm concerned.

At the moment, because I'm an "end-user", I cannot update the registry with factually-correct data.  I would hope that the original proposal allows for scenarios like mine.  I'm absolutely certain, being personally aware of dozens of similar situations, that there are massive amounts of "stealth" delegations happening under ARIN's radar.
