[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2018-2 :Clarification to ISP Initial Allocation and Permit Renumbering (Language improvement)

[Andrew Dul]

The AC has recently been discussing this draft policy and noted that we 
have not heard from the community since this new text has been posted.  
We would like to hear from you on if we should move this policy to 
recommended.


I believe the new text fixes the discrepancy, for initial ISP 
allocations, which depends on if the organization initially applies 
under section4 or section8.  This policy fixes this issue in section4 by 
requiring the same documentation (as required under the section8 
transfer policy) for a new ISP requesting a block larger than a /24.

I support this draft policy.


Thanks,

Andrew
