[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2023-1: Retire 4.2.1.4 Slow Start

[Brian Jones]

The ARIN Advisory Council is still looking to receive feedback concerning the retirement of the Slow Start section of the NRPM 4.2.1.4. So far most of the comments have been supportive along with some feedback that was gathered at NANOG 88, also supportive. Retirement of this section of the NRPM dovetails into current work being done by the Advisory Council NRPM working group in revising and cleaning up section 4 of the NRPM that deals primarily with IPv4 allocations. A simple ya or nay will suffice in helping us determine the pulse of the community.

Sincerely,
Shepherds: Brian Jones and Amy Potter


Brian Jones
ARIN Advisory Council

> Section 4.2.1.4 Slow Start has been a part of the NRPM for two decades, and successfully served to constrain the rate at which ARIN issued IPv4 address allocations to its members for many years. Following the exhaustion of the free pool, as well as the introduction and refinement of transfer policies, Slow Start has ceased to be applicable to the operations of ARIN's registration services. Staff has confirmed that this policy has not been used since 2018.
