[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2022-12: Direct Assignment Language Update

Wed Feb 21 09:14:58 EST 2024

Tyler –

Appreciate the input.

Re: “automatically”: Our (the shepherds) thought was that the word automatically was superfluous to the qualification, but I can see your point that it emphasizes the fact that no further justification is required. We’ll revisit adding this back in – thank you.

Re: 4.4/4.10 exclusion: Current practice already excludes holders of space under these sections from getting on the waitlist, so this would not change that. My understanding is that staff will attempt to redirect applicants for waitlist space to 4.4 or 4.10 as a more rapid alternative than the multi-year waitlist queue, since 4.4 and 4.10 allocations can happen immediately.

Hope that helps –

Doug

Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2022-12: Direct Assignment Language Update
Overall, I support this change as I think it resolves a common source of
confusion and helps to clean up legacy terminology and phrasing.

I did have a couple of comments:

In the change to section 4.2.2, the word "automatically" was dropped. I think
the "automatically" qualifier helps to get across the intent that an ISP/LIR may
obtain their first (IPv4) /24 without further justification being required.
Therefore, I would propose simply re-adding automatically in the first
statement, so that section 4.2.2 now reads:

“All ISP organizations without any IPv4 addresses from ARIN automatically
qualify for an initial allocation of a /24. ISPs providing a 24-month
utilization plan for the request size specified may receive up to a /22. ISPs
holding re-allocations and/or reassignments must show the efficient utilization
of their resources consistent with the requirements in sections 4.2.3 and
4.2.4.”

Second, and this applies to other sections as well, the new phrasing seems to
imply that an organization holding special use IPv4 addresses (via 4.4 or 4.10)
would not be eligible for the automatic general purpose /24 justification. I
think enforcing such a policy would be counter-productive, as for example it may
discourage an organization from requesting and using 4.10 space (for IPv6
transition) until they had been allocated their general purpose block.
