Draft Policy ARIN-2020-1: Clarify Holding Period for Resources Received 
via 4.1.8 Waitlist

Problem Statement:

A recent Policy Experience Report reported ambiguity on the part of 
customers as to whether or not the 60-month restriction on transferring 
resources received via NRPM Section 4.1.8 applies to M&A transfers under 
NRPM Section 8.2. This proposal clarifies this restriction to exempt 8.2 
transfers from this restriction.

Policy Statement: Update NRPM Section 4.1.8 as follows:

Original Text:

Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for 
transfer for a period of 60 months.

New Text:

Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for 
transfer, with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for a period of 
60 months.”

Comments:

Timetable for implementation: immediate
