[arin-ppml] Seeking Comments - Draft Policy ARIN-2025-3: Change Section 9 Out-of-Region Use Minimum Criteria

[Eddie Stauble]

As a reminder, this proposal is to modify the following text in Section 9:

 

  *   FROM: IPv4: At least a /22 used in region.

  *   TO: IPv4: At least a /24 used in region.

 

At the time I made this proposal I was not aware that one could use out of
region usage as needs demonstration to get a block from the waiting list.

 

I do not believe that is right, and that the waiting list should only be
used for in-region use.

 

With input at ARIN 57 in Louisville, I think it is time to amend the
proposal to exclude out of region usage to get IPv4 from the waiting list.  

 

Here are a couple of options:

 

Out of Region usage justification can only be used to acquire IPv4 addresses
from the transfer market.  Any organization on the Waiting List at the time
this policy is implemented will be grandfathered-in.

Or, though a bit wordy, a bit more specific:

 

Out of Region usage justification may not be used to receive IPv4 addresses
from the ARIN Waitlist (4.1.8), Micro-allocation pool (4.4) or Dedicated
IPv4 Allocation to facilitate IPv6 Deployment (4.10).  Any organization on
the Waiting List at the time this policy is implemented will be
grandfathered-in.

 

The first option is shorter, and does not specifically refer to ARIN reserve
pools, which could change.  The second option does not include the term
"transfer market".  That term does not appear in the NRPM, and directly
mentions the waiting list.

 

Any input is appreciated!
