[arin-ppml] Policy Experience Report 4.10 Space

[WOOD Alison * DAS]

Happy Friday ARIN Community!

The Policy Experience Report from ARIN 52 brought about great discussion on 4.10 space and I would appreciate your feedback.

A growing number of organizations are requesting multiple /24s from the 4.10 reserve pool to provide services in geographically distanced data centers, invoking multiple discrete networks under section 4.5.
ARIN staff has been using their discretion in accordance with the policy to deny these additional requests for 4.10 space, due to not having 'compelling criteria'.

These requests are frequently declined because they don't meet the criteria for 4.10 space and are not truly multiple discreet networks, but geographically diverse deployed servers.

Questions for the community

* Is a policy clarification necessary or is ARIN is making the correct decision for these type of requests?
* If clarification is needed, how should the definition of multiple discrete networks in section 4.5 be improved?
* Should there be a maximum number of /24s available under 4.10?

Looking forward to your responses!

Thanks!
