   4. *Problem Statement:*

As discussed in more detail in ARIN-2017-9 and noted in the ARIN 40 Policy
Experience Report, the criteria to qualify for an initial block of address
space in 4.2.2 and 8.5.4 are seeming at odds with each other. At ARIN 41
the community seemed to prefer the approach contained in this policy over
the approach in ARIN-2017-9, which was subsequently abandoned.

Moreover, as the NRPM (2018-1) currently sits, 4.2.2 appears to state that
an initial allocation of up to a /21 could be granted without any more
justification than needed to qualify for a /24. Therefore, 4.2.2 should be
modified, allowing an initial allocation of only a /24 without any
additional justification and allowing an initial allocation of up to a /21
when justified by a 24-month allocation plan.

*Policy Statement:*

Replace the current Section 4.2.2 with:

4.2.2. Initial allocation to ISPs

All ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from ARIN
qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /21, subject to ARIN's minimum
allocation size.

All ISP organizations without direct allocations, direct assignments,
re-allocations or reassignments automatically qualify for a /24. These
organizations are exempt from requirements of showing the efficient
utilization of previously held IPv4 space. These organizations may qualify
for a larger than a /24 by documenting how the requested allocation will be
utilized within the request size specified in 4.2.4.3

ISPs holding re-allocations and/or reassignments must show the efficient
utilization of their resources consistent with the requirements in sections
4.2.3 and 4.2.4


*Comments:*

The timetable for Implementation: Immediate

*Anything Else:*

This is an attempt to clarify the changes that came about from 2016-4.
It also aligns section 4.2 with current transfer policy.
It also re-established the understanding that ISP can renumber and return,
but putting the last section 4.2.2.1.4 into the ISP additional requests
section. This text is slightly modified to include returns to ARIN in
addition to returns to the upstream.
