Draft Policy ARIN-2020-11: Add Textual Description for the Number Resource Hierarchy Image in Section 2

 

Problem Statement:

 

The beginning of Section 2 in the NRPM shows a diagram of how addressing responsibility is delegated. However, this image does not appear to have a description or even alt text, and the actual text is not selectable. This could have accessibility implications, especially those with sight-related disabilities, or if the NRPM is translated into other languages.

 

Policy statement:

 

Proposal: Add the following text before the image in Section 2:

 

Responsibility for management of number resources is distributed globally in accordance with the following procedures:

* Global number resource management is performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). IANA distributes number resources to RIRs (AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and the RIPE NCC), but not directly to LIRs (Local Internet Registries) or end users.

* RIRs, such as ARIN, distribute number resources to LIRs and directly to end-user organizations.

* LIRs may further delegate number resources to other LIRs, as well as to other end-user organizations.

 

Replace the text “ISP Internet Service Provider” in the graphic with the text “LIR Local Internet Registry” 

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
