[arin-ppml] [EXT] Re: Open Petition for ARIN-prop-266: BGP Hijacking is an ARIN Policy Violation

[Jacques Latour]

On behalf of CIRA, I support the petition.

We need to have a discussion on whether ARIN should be an internet routing cop.  We should also take the discussion a step further on the actions to take when an actor is found “guilty” of BGP hijacking.

This proposal was rejected due to scope at the 10 April meeting of the
Advisory Council.

To support this petition, simply send a response to the Public Policy
Mailing list stating your support, name, and organization.

On behalf of myself, I SUPPORT the petition.

AFAICT the AC ruled the proposal out of scope on the grounds that ARIN is not in the business of being an Internet routing cop. This proposition is incorrect. By enforcing minimum assignments throughout its history, ARIN has long been a key gatekeeper for access to the Internet's BGP routing system. While mild on the scale of Internet traffic-copishness, it nevertheless puts Internet Routing Cop proposals in scope.

I oppose the proposed policy, but I think it reasonable for us to occasionally discuss and evaluate whether ARIN should be Internet-Cop in some novel new way. And re-evaluate whether it should continue to act as routing cop in the ways it currently does. The AC need not protect us from that discussion.

Bill Herrin
