ARIN received the following policy proposal. In accordance with the ARIN<br>
Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process, the proposal is being<br>
posted to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) and being placed on<br>
ARIN's website.<br>
<br>
The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review this proposal at their next<br>
regularly scheduled meeting. The AC may decide to:<br>
<br>
1. Accept the proposal as written. If the AC accepts the proposal,<br>
it will be posted as a formal policy proposal to PPML and it will be<br>
presented at a Public Policy Meeting.<br>
<br>
2. Postpone their decision regarding the proposal until the next<br>
regularly scheduled AC meeting in order to work with the author. The AC<br>
will work with the author to clarify, combine or divide the proposal. At<br>
their following meeting the AC will accept or not accept the proposal.<br>
<br>
3. Not accept the proposal. If the AC does not accept the proposal,<br>
the AC will explain their decision via the PPML. If a proposal is not<br>
accepted, then the author may elect to use the petition process to<br>
advance their proposal. If the author elects not to petition or the<br>
petition fails, then the proposal will be closed.<br>
<br>
The AC will assign shepherds in the near future. ARIN will provide the<br>
names of the shepherds to the community via the PPML.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on this proposal on<br>
the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning<br>
behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough<br>
vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.<br>

Policy Proposal Name: Extend Experimental Renewal Timeframe<br>
<br>
Author: Azinger and Dave Meyer<br>
<br>
Proposal Version: 1<br>
<br>
Submission Date: 4 June 2008<br>
<br>
Proposal type: Modify<br>
<br>
Policy term: Permanent<br>
<br>
Policy statement:<br>
<br>
This proposal is to modify section 11.4 in the Policy Manual to extend<br>
the experimental timeframe from one year to two years before having to<br>
re-justify the use of an experimental block.<br>
<br>
Rationale:<br>
<br>
Currently anyone who has an experimental block is required to re-justify<br>
his or her use after just one year. Reality shows that any true<br>
experiment in technical nature that addresses the internet architecture<br>
and routing will take at least two years given the constraints of time<br>
and the simple fact of working out what could be a bug in the theory and<br>
not a show stopper. This proposal just wishes to extend the timeframe<br>
one year so that time isn't wasted on re-justification.<br>
<br>
The revision of 11.4 would read as follows:<br>
<br>
The Numbering Resources are allocated on a lease/license basis for a<br>
period of two years. The allocation can be renewed on application to<br>
ARIN providing information as per Detail One. The identity and details<br>
of the applicant and the allocated Numbering Resources will be published<br>
under the conditions of ARIN's normal publication policy. At the end of<br>
the experiment, resources allocated under this policy will be returned<br>
to the available pool.<br>
<br>
Timetable for implementation: Immediate<br>
<br>
