[arin-ppml] Revised: ARIN-2017-4: Remove Reciprocity Requirement for Inter-RIR Transfers

[Mike Burns]

Hi Kevin,

LACNIC will be presented with a one-way policy proposal in Montevideo in a
few weeks. It has failed to reach consensus twice but was returned to the
list, so it will be voted on again.

Regards,
Mike

Are there active polices in the other regions that rely on this policy? I
understand there have been discussions, however I don't know what the status
is/was. 

Thanks,

Kevin Blumberg

Draft Policy ARIN-2017-4: Remove Reciprocity Requirement for Inter-RIR
Transfers

Version Date: 6 September 2017

Problem Statement:

AFRINIC and LACNIC are currently considering one-way inter-RIR transfer
proposals. Those RIR communities feel a one-way policy a policy that allows
network operators in their regions to obtain space from another region and
transfer it into AFRINIC and LACNIC may best meet the needs of the operators
in that region.

ARIN staff, in reply to an inquiry from AFRINIC, have formally indicated
that ARINs 8.4 policy language will not allow ARIN to participate in such
one-way transfers. The staff formally indicate to AFRINIC that the word
reciprocal in 8.4 prohibits ARIN from allowing ARIN-registered space to
transfer directly to AFRINIC (in this context).

ARIN as a community should recognize that other RIR operator communities
have different needs than we do. We should recognize that:

- network operators in AFRINIC in LACNIC have need to obtain space in the
market;

- have reasons they think are important to not allow two-way transfers; and

- we should understand that the history of the RIR system has led to LACNIC
and AFRINIC having multiple orders of magnitude less IPv4 address space than
ARIN does.

Policy statement:

Add the following sentence after the first sentence of NRPM 8.4:

Inter-RIR transfers may take place to an RIR with a non-reciprocal inter-RIR
transfer policy only when the recipient RIR has an IPv4 total inventory less
than the average (mean) of the IPv4 total inventory among all of the RIRs.

Timetable for implementation: Upon the ratification of any inter-RIR
transfer policy at another RIR that is one-way as described in the problem
statement.
