[arin-ppml] ARIN 2025-8 Reserve 4.10 Space for In-Region Use

[Kaitlyn Pellak]


Hello PPML,

We’ve received some feedback regarding this policy I wanted to resurface to gauge community interest. One community member mentioned a desire to restrict 4.10 space to only support ARIN IPv6 allocations, and ensure that 4.10 space is only used out of region insofar as it adheres to the restrictions set aside in section 9 of the NRPM.

In case it was unclear, current ARIN practice is to allow a requestor to receive 4.10 space with an IPv6 allocation from another RIR as justification if that IPv6 allocation is being used within the ARIN service region (for example being routed within the ARIN service region). 

With this in mind, does the community support a more restrictive view of 4.10 justification that would only allow for ARIN allocated IPv6 ranges to be used for qualifying for 4.10 space? 

I believe in addition to the original proposal for this language I saw at least one additional community member in favor of this change.

Thanks folks,
