[arin-ppml] ARIN 2016-8 Removal of indirect POC

I oppose the policy as written.

I have to agree with Owen on this one...In that it does not sound like
palatable solution to the problem aired.
Although, a change to 'may be sent'  is similar to 'will not be sent'.

Is there some other annual event which can be used to impose POC update at
the same time (??)

Is the presence of the phrase ?will be sent? in the current policy intended
to set a requirement for the POC (this email will be sent annually, you
must reply to it in order to validate the record), or intended as a
requirement for ARIN staff (ARIN is required to send the email annually)?

To the concept of the random audit approach mentioned earlier, It may be
simple enough to change ?will be sent? to ?may be sent?. I?d argue that
procedurally the sampling rate should be fairly high, however (i.e. no less
than, say, 20% of records).

P.S. Personally, I?d argue that a viable alternate strategy in the absence
of that check/balance would be to make sure that the requirement to use
your official POCs is written into your vendor contracts at next renewal,
and operationally onto a service acceptance checklist backed up by said
contract language.

reasons:

conducting POC validation via email, ARIN is sending Unsolicited Commercial

unacceptable damage to ARIN's ability to conduct ordinary business over
email

causes tremendous work for the staff. It receives many angry phone calls

end-user POC information.

To PPML -

As a result of policy discussions in the AFRINIC region, ARIN is
providing the following to information:

On 30 September 2016 ARIN received a query from AFRINIC requesting an
assessment on the compatibility of AFRINIC proposed
1803-inbound-transfer-policy with ARIN policy. On 6 October 2016 ARIN
responded with the following assessment:

Based on ARIN?s Number Resource Policy Manual, Version 2016.2 ? 13 July
2016, and referencing the following text from paragraph 8.4. Inter-RIR
Transfers to Specified Recipients, we have determined that the proposed
AFRINIC Inbound Transfer Policy is not reciprocal.

?Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the
transfer and share reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies.?

In this case reciprocal meaning that the policy provides both RIRs the
same ability to transfer: both in and out. This policy proposal as
written could not be implemented by ARIN. Note that ARIN?s Inter-RIR
transfer policy is based on other RIR's transfer policy and does not
consider any LIR or NIR policies.

Regards,

John Sweeting
Sr. Director, RSD
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)

It concerns me that no one that operates a community network has commented
on this policy.  Further it concerns me that no one from the general ARIN
policy community commented either, only AC members and a former AC member
who is also the policy author have made any comments.

Is there interest from the ARIN policy community to work on this or are
their other priorities for the community's time?

It would be helpful to hear from others in regards to if this is something
we should be working on or not.

Thanks.

Last week, ARIN staff sent to this list a copy of their response to
AFRINIC on inter-RIR transfer policy compatability.

The AFRINIC community is considering a one-way transfer policy as a
bootstrap for the few years until they reach IPv4 runout, at which point
it would aim to become two-way.

I feel like as a member of the internet community, that ARIN (we - us -
the PPML participants) should be accepting that an RIR in a different
region has different needs than we do. I think we should allow African
internet operators to obtain blocks from sellers in the ARIN region, and
transfer them to AFRINIC to meet their needs.

The AFRINIC inbound transfer policy is very ARIN-like. It's needs-basis,
and the language looks very similar to 8.2 and 8.3 language we've had at
ARIN for a very long time.

cf.

http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/
policy-proposals/1803-inbound-transfer-policy

That's my opinion.  What's yours?

Thanks,
David
