Draft Policy ARIN-2020-7: 4.4 gTLD Micro-allocation Clarification

Problem Statement:

As stated in NRPM section 4.4: Micro-allocation ICANN-sanctioned gTLD 
operators may justify up to the equivalent of an IPv4 /23 block for each 
authorized new gTLD, allocated from the free pool or received via 
transfer, but not from the above reservation.

The term “new gTLD” is confusing and refers to all gTLD’s that have been 
created since June of 2012.

Policy Statement:

ICANN-sanctioned gTLD operators may justify up to the equivalent of an 
IPv4 /23 block for each authorized gTLD, allocated from the free pool or 
received via transfer, but not from the above reservation.

Comments:

This proposal stems from a suggestion in the January, 2019 Policy 
Experience Report.
