[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Equalization of Assignment Registration requirements between IPv4 and IPv6

Tue Jul 25 17:25:47 EDT 2017

I think you’re misinterpreting something on that page. I might be blind, but I don’t read anything on that page to say that IPv6 reassignments must be done by RESTful API.

I know that in practice you can do IPv6 reassignments via RWHOIS and I believe templates are also supported as well as ARIN On-Line.

Certainly the NRPM is the authoritative governing document, so if there is a shortcoming in the process as implemented such that it doesn’t line up with policy, the correct response would be to bring this to staff’s attention and request that they address it. However, to the best of my knowledge, there is no such discrepancy.

If you can highlight the portions of that page which you believe to be errant in nature, I’m happy to try and work with staff to make sure they get clarified.

>> ISPs are required to demonstrate efficient use of IP address space allocations by providing appropriate documentation, including but not limited to assignment histories, showing their efficient use.
>> 
>> 6.5.5.1. Reassignment information
>> Each static IPv6 assignment containing a /64 or more addresses shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2. Reassignment registrations shall include each client's organizational information, except where specifically exempted by this policy.
>> 
>> 6.5.5.2. Assignments visible within 7 days
>> All assignments shall be made visible as required in section 4.2.3.7.1 within seven calendar days of assignment.
>> 
>> 6.5.5.3. Residential Subscribers
>> 6.5.5.3.1. Residential Customer Privacy
>> To maintain the privacy of their residential customers, an organization with downstream residential customers holding /64 and larger blocks may substitute that organization's name for the customer's name, e.g. 'Private Customer - XYZ Network', and the customer's street address may read 'Private Residence'. Each private downstream residential reassignment must have accurate upstream Abuse and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record for that block.
>> 
>> I’ll call your attention to the phrase in 6.5.5.1 which states "registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2” which at this point includes (IIRC) SWIP, RestFUL API, RWHOIS, and possibly RDAP.

>> I’ll also note that 6.5.5.3.1 provides for the residential customer privacy as I defined it, regardless of the mechanism used to make the data available.
