[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2022-1: MDN Clarification for Qualification

[Owen DeLong]

I’m fine with this as is now. However, since we’re opening this particular can of worms, I will ask the following question…

Do we want to limit the total additional allocation/assignment to MDN to be doubling the qualifying MDNs instead of the
total space of the organization?

As written below, for example, let’s say an org had 16 MDNs each of which held a /22. The organization’s total
space would be a /18. In the event where two of the MDNs qualified to expand, in theory, they could each be
expanded by an additional /19 in a single transaction (transfer a /18) vs. the more reasonable transfer of a /21
which would double each of the qualified networks by an additional /22.

In organizations operating multiple discrete networks, each discrete network may be assessed individually for the 80% utilization threshold. To qualify under this policy, the organization must provide justification that each network is discrete, per the criteria described in section 4.5. Each discrete network must meet the projection requirements in section 8.5.5, and each discrete network for which IP addresses are requested must meet the utilization requirements in section 8.5.6. Organizations may receive one or more transfers up to the total size of their current ARIN IPv4 address holdings, up to a maximum size of /16.
