Draft Policy ARIN-2021-1: ASN Clarifications to Sections 2 and 8 Problem Statement: The community has raised concerns that the current language in Section 8 is not clear regarding ASN-only transactions. There are also some language and reference inconsistencies which should be addressed while adjusting Section 8 and concordant adjustments to Section 2. Policy statement: Add a definition for ASN in Section 2: Section 2.X Autonomous System Number (ASN) An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier which represents a collection of network resources operated under a common routing policy administration, known as an autonomous system. In Section 8.2: Replace ?The Internet number resources being transferred as part of an 8.2 transfer will not be subject to a needs-based assessment during the process of the 8.2 transfer.? with ?The Internet number resources being transferred as part of a transfer under section 8.2 will not be subject to a needs based assessment during the process of the transfer.? Replace ?The recipient must provide evidence that they have acquired the assets that use the resources to be transferred from the current registrant.? with ?The recipient must provide evidence that it has acquired the assets that use the resources to be transferred from the current registrant.? Replace ?The recipient must show that they have acquired the entire entity which is the current registrant.? with ?The recipient must show that it has acquired the entire entity which is the current registrant.?

The only such changes are where the phrase "IPv4 number resources" occurs to align with the preferred expression of "IPv4 addresses". Note 8.2 "Internet number resources [...]" remains unchanged, as does 8.3 "Number resources [...]" and 8.4 "Number resources received [...]". Cheers!

I see you moved a lot of words around but they seem to me to be the same words providing the same meanings to the same components of each sentence. For "purely editorial" policy changes there are two things I'd personally like to see in the proposal: 1. A redline version of the impacted policy sections showing the struck and replaced text so it can be readily understood in context. 2. A change-by-change explanation of what was wrong with the old version that the new version fixes. Is it poor grammar? A possible misinterpretation? Esthetically offensive?

This proposal arose out of a policy experience report, but we've seen very little said about it from anyone that thinks this is a problem that needs to be solved or that the current text of NRPM here is negatively impacting their organization. We've heard from a few members of the community who are opposed to the proposal, and those who believe the current distinction between organizations that already have reassignments/reallocations from their upstreams and organizations with no space at all makes sense. We'd like to give the community one last chance to speak out in favor of this proposal before abandoning it. If you think this is a problem that needs to be solved, please let us know. Best, Amy *** Draft Policy 2020-10: Requirement to Demonstrate Utilization of Reassignments and Reallocations for ISPs Seeking Initial Allocation from ARIN Problem Statement: 4.2.2 seems to provide an unfair advantage to ISPs without any IP address holdings - that is, they don?t have any direct assignments or allocations, nor any reassignments or reallocations from another organization. If an ISP does already have holdings in the form of reassignments or reallocations, and they request a /24, or even a /29 as an initial allocation - they are required to provide utilization data. This slows their advancement to the waiting list compared to a new ISP without any holdings at all. An organization without reassignments or reallocations doesn?t need to provide any justification other than submitting the request and providing an officer attestation. This expedites their addition to the waiting list. Policy Statement: Replace 4.2.2 with the following: 4.2.2. Initial Allocation to ISPs All ISP organizations automatically qualify for a /24.These organizations may qualify for more than a /24 by documenting how the requested allocation will be utilized within the request size specified in 4.2.4.3. ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from ARIN qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /22, subject to ARIN?s minimum allocation size. Timetable for implementation: Immediate. Comments: This proposal was written as the result of a Policy Experience Report. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The text is below and can be found at: https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/drafts/ARIN_edit_2021_1/ The process for Editorial Changes is found in Part One, Section 3.1, paragraph 3 of the Policy Development Process (PDP): "Changes to policy that are purely editorial and non-substantial in nature are outside the scope of the full Policy Development Process and may only be made with 30 days public notice followed by the concurrence of both the ARIN Advisory Council and ARIN Board of Trustees that the changes are non-substantial in nature."

There are also some language and reference inconsistencies which should be addressed while adjusting Section 8 and concordant adjustments to Section 2. Policy Statement: Add a definition for ASN in Section 2: Section 2.X Autonomous System Number (ASN) An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier which represents a collection of network resources operated under a common routing policy administration, known as an autonomous system.
