[arin-ppml] Clarification regarding Section 5 of NRPM

[John Curran]

Nachiket -

The entirety of Section 5 of ARIN’s Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) <https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/#5-as-numbers> consists of the following policy text -

5. AS Numbers
Any organization may be issued a single Autonomous System Number (ASN) upon request. Organizations that have space issued under Multiple Discrete Networks policy may be issued one ASN per discrete network upon request.

Additional ASN requests should include proof of the requestor’s need for a unique routing policy, or other technical justification for the need for more than one ASN.

I.e., the policy for AS number issuance in the ARIN region is quite straightforward at present.

If you are researching past policies, earlier versions of the NRPM may be found here -

Thanks!

I am researching the ASN policies of ARIN and was unable to find the contents of Section 5 regarding ASNs.

The specifications regarding assignment, return, and transfer of ASNs within, to and from are of particular interest.

Where can I find these details and why are they not part of the NRPM?
