I should have waited a few extra minutes before replying ...

I'm ok with this new text wording.

Thanks!

    Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments

    Problem Statement:

    When the policy was drafted, the concept of assignments/sub-assignments 

    did not consider the use of IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP 

    addresses by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and 

    many other similar cases.

    Additionally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a unique IPv6 

    /64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273) instead of a unique address. 

    This, for example, allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64 

    such that they are "isolated" from other users (for reasons of security, 

    regulatory requirements, etc.) and they can also use multiple virtual 

    machines on their devices with a unique address for each one (within the 

    same /64).

    Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign), explicitly prohibits such 

    assignments, stating that "Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to 

    other parties".

    This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define 

    the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by 

    means of additional language added to the definition of an Assignment.

    Note that the proposal text also incorporates changes made under an 

    Editorial Change currently awaiting Board of Trustees review, available 

    here: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html

    Policy Statement:

    Actual Text, Section 2.5:

    • Assign - To assign means to delegate address space to an ISP or 

    end-user, for specific use within the Internet infrastructure they 

    operate. Assignments must only be made for specific purposes documented 

    by specific organizations and are not to be sub-assigned to other parties.

    New Text:

    • Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by 

    ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. A temporary 

    assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be 

    considered an assignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.

    Comments

    Timetable for implementation:

    Immediate

    Anything else:

    Situation in other regions:

    This situation, has already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was 

    updated in a similar way, even if right now there is a small discrepancy 

    between the policy text that reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact 

    Analysis. A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend that, and 

    the text is the same as presented by this proposal at ARIN. Same text 

    has also been submitted to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC.
