[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2024-5: Rewrite of NRPM Section 4.4 Micro-Allocation

[Douglas Camin]

Bill –

I think this is a valid point, though I do think both proposals are appropriate. The goals of 2024-4 and 5 are different, but the first bullet point in 2024-5 is fundamentally an IX definition. The other bullet points represent qualification criteria relevant to the allocation being considered. It makes sense to be written this way now because there is no IX definition in policy yet or until 2024-4 is completed.

One way to address this is to keep them moving together and in consideration of one another – 2024-5 relies on the 2024-4 definition and, if it is clear it will become adopted policy, 2024-5 references the new definition as part of the criteria rather than restate it.

Hope that helps –


Doug

This should be pointing out the obvious, but we need _either_ 2024-4 _or_ 2024-5, but _definitely not both_.  That would be bad, having two different definitions that had to be kept synchronized.

I support having a stand-alone definition as in 2024-4, and removing all descriptive language from other uses of the phrase “Internet exchange” or “IX."
