Owen,<br>Doesn't #1 and #4 conflict with each other or am I missing something?<br>#1 says that they will remain exempt<br>#4 says that anyone returning will be exempt for 5yrs<br>So, if I return legacy space, which one do I fall under?

ARIN-POLICY-PROPOSAL-TEMPLATE-1.0<br><br><br>Policy Proposal Name: Legacy Outreach and Partial Reclamation<br>Author<br> name: Owen DeLong<br> email: <a href="mailto:owen@delong.com">owen@delong.com</a><br> telephone: 408-921-6984
<br> organization: JITTR Networks<br><br>Proposal Version: 0.0.1<br>Submission Date: 2007 April 22<br>Proposal type: M<br> new, modify, or delete.<br>Policy term: permanent<br> temporary, permanent, or renewable.
<br>Policy statement:<br> Modify section 4.6 as follows:<br><br> 4.6 Amnesty Requests<br> ARIN will accept the return or relinquishment of any address space<br> from any existing address holder. If the address holder wishes to
<br> aggregate into a single block, ARIN may work with the address holder<br> to arrive at an allocation or assignment which is equal to or smaller<br> than the sum of their existing blocks and which best meets the needs
<br> of the existing holder and the community. There shall be no fee for<br> returning addresses under this policy. Further, organizations<br> returning addresses under this policy shall receive the following
<br> benefits:<br><br> 1. If the organization does not currently pay ARIN<br> fees, they shall remain fee exempt.<br><br> 2. If the organization currently pays ARIN fees,
<br> their fees shall be waived for two years for<br> each /20 equivalent returned, with any fractional /20<br> equivalent resulting in a one-time single year waiver.
<br><br> 3. Any organization returning address space under<br> this policy shall continue under their existing<br> RSA or they may choose to sign the current RSA.
<br> For organizations which currently do not<br> have an RSA, they may sign the current RSA, or,<br> they may choose to remain without an RSA.
<br><br> 4. All organizations returning space under this<br> policy shall, if they meet other eligibility<br> requirements and so request, obtain an
<br> appropriate IPv6 end-user assignment<br> or ISP allocation as applicable, with no fees<br> for the first 5 years. Organizations electing
<br> to receive IPv6 allocation/assignment under<br> this provision must sign a current RSA and<br> must agree that all of their IPv4 resources are
<br> henceforth subject to the RSA. Organizations<br> taking this election shall be subject to end-user<br> fees for their IPv4 resources not previously
<br> under an ARIN RSA. If they are already an<br> ARIN subscriber, then IPv4 resources<br> affected by this process may, instead, be added to
<br> their existing subscriber agreement at the<br> address holder's discretion.<br><br>Rationale:<br><br> The current amnesty policy does a nice job of facilitating
<br> aggregation, which was the intent when it was drafted. However,<br> as we approach IPv4 free-space exhaustion, the community now<br> has an additional need to facilitate address reclamation.<br>
<br> A very high percentage of underutilized space is in the hands of<br> legacy holders who currently have no benefit to joining the ARIN<br> process. Further, there is an unfortunate perception that doing
<br> so will require force the legacy holder into certain future<br>disadvantages.<br> This proposal attempts to resolve both of those issues while also<br> providing some incentive to legacy organizations to start using
<br> IPv6 resources and bring their IPv4 resources into the ARIN<br> process.<br><br> This policy attempts to provide some benefit and remove most of<br> the costs of making partial IPv4 returns. It also attempts to
<br> provide an incentive for these IPv4 holders to join the ARIN<br> process.<br><br>Timetable for implementation:<br><br> Immediate<br><br>Meeting presenter:<br><br> TBD, probably Owen DeLong
