Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2018-2: Clarification to ISP Initial
Allocation
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 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 up to and including a /21 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 the 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. The policy text has been changed and the proposed section
4.2.2.1.4 was deleted in its entirety.
