[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - December 2023

[ARIN]

In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 21 December 2023.

 

The AC has advanced the following to Recommended Draft Policy status (will be posted separately for discussion):

 

* ARIN-2023-4: Modernization of Registration Requirements

 

The AC advances Draft Policies to Recommended Draft Policy status once they have been fully developed and meet ARIN's Principles of Internet Number Resource Policy. Specifically, these principles are:

 

* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration

* Technically Sound

* Supported by the Community

 

 

The AC has abandoned the following:

 

* ARIN-2023-2: /26 initial IPv4 allocation for IXPs 

 

The AC issued the following statement:

 

The ARIN Advisory Council has abandoned ARIN-2023-2 "/26 initial IPv4 allocation for IXPs" on the basis of several factors, including the following:

 

(1) Unlike RIPE NCC which has adopted a similar policy, and APNIC which is currently considering a similar policy, ARIN has a policy to prioritize the replenishment of reserved pools including those associated with Sections 4.4 and 4.10. This replenishment policy can be seen in section 4.1.7.1. Disposition of Resources. 

 

(2) The policy lacked broad community support. To the contrary, several IXP community members shared concerns around the difficulty of renumbering. While sparse allocation was briefly considered by the shepherds, the net effect would not address the underlying problem. Additionally, the IXP community indicated that reverse DNS was going to be an issue because ARIN's systems are limited to delegating Reverse DNS in units no smaller than a /24.

 

(3) The implementation of this policy would require considerable development efforts on the part of ARIN's technical staff in order to support Reverse DNS delegation in units smaller than a /24. The estimated development effort was estimated by staff to take up to two years. 

 

Anyone dissatisfied with this decision may initiate a petition. The deadline to begin a petition will be seven days after the AC's draft meeting minutes are published.

 

 

The AC is continuing to work on:

 

Draft Policies:

 

* ARIN-2022-12: Direct Assignment Language Update

* ARIN-2023-6: ARIN Waitlist Qualification

* ARIN-2023-7: Clarification of NRPM Sections 4.5 and 6.11 Multiple Discrete Networks and the addition of new Section 2.18 Organizational Identifier (Org ID)

* ARIN-2023-8: Reduce 4.18 Maximum Allocation

 

Recommended Draft Policies:

 

* ARIN-2023-1: Retire 4.2.1.4. Slow Start

* ARIN-2023-5: Clean-up of NRPM Sections 4.3.4, 4.4, 4.10 and 6.10.1
