[arin-ppml] Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements for Residential Market Assignments

[Azinger, Marla]

If I read this correct, you would be removing the requirement of public records that display not just static re-allocations for a general geographic area, but it would also remove Dynamic pool re-allocations.

If I saw what requirement is being removed correctly, in either respect should anyone stop doing those type of Re-allocations, they will receive an increase of abuse calls from law enforcement given one layer of useful data is being halted.  It also might increase geographic route issues because I have come across some companies that sell geo filter software based off ARIN records.

Food for thought

Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-3: Remove Reallocation Requirements for Residential Market Assignments

Advisory Council Statement of Conformance with Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy:

This recommended draft policy is technically sound, creating a fair and impartial number policy. The draft policy removes the Residential Market Area record keeping and publication requirement placed upon one segment of the ISP population for ARIN IPv4 allocations. Since this requirement does not apply to IPv4 transfers it is a legacy element of policy sustaining administrative overhead for a subset of the community.  No concerns have been raised by the community  and there has been demonstrable support since its initial proposal.

Problem Statement:

Current number policy requires some organizations to create reallocations or reassignments for residential subscribers.  This requirement complicates record keeping for ISPs.  There is limited value today for requiring these records be put into the ARIN database.

ARIN number policy for a long time has required ISPs to add a reallocation or reassignment record for each of their subscriber address blocks.  This policy dates from the original cable allocations as a method to publicly show that a portion of a larger block has been put into use.

Since ARIN no longer has a free pool of IPv4 addresses and requirements for transfer are demonstrated without these records, this requirement is no longer needed.

Furthermore, this requirement complicates reallocation & reassignment entry into the ARIN database.3  Removing this requirement could reduce the complexity required for accurately maintaining reallocation and/or reassignment records.

Policy statement:

Remove Section 4.2.3.7.3.1 (Residential Market Area) from the NRPM

Comments:

Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
