Before we really get started on this policy proposal, I must give credit where credit is due.<BR>
Jordi Palet Martinez brought this topic to the table 3 years ago, and it got shot down. I myself, in my small IPv4-centric mind, thought it impossible that an IPv6 only organization could exist. Operations and innovation have shown me the error of our thinking.<BR>
To quote myself from a different list:<BR>
IPv6 is a new paradigm we are supposed to be doing our best to encourage. As it stands, those community guys can't get it, the Caribbean guys can't get it, and basically anyone trying to do anything vanguard can't get it either. (I hear the ULA objections here, even when they're nascent). <BR>
<BR>
We can be afraid of what IPv6 might do to the routing table, or we can embrace what IPv6 can and will do for the Internet.<BR>
I choose the latter and support this proposal.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>ARIN received the following policy proposal and is posting it to the<BR>
Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) in accordance with Policy Development<BR>
Process.<BR>
<BR>
This proposal is in the first stage of the Policy Development Process.<BR>
ARIN staff will perform the Clarity and Understanding step. Staff does<BR>
not evaluate the proposal at this time, their goal is to make sure that<BR>
they understand the proposal and believe the community will as well.<BR>
Staff will report their results to the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) within<BR>
10 days.<BR>
<BR>
The AC will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled<BR>
meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is<BR>
less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent<BR>
regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the<BR>
proposal and announce the decision to the PPML.<BR>
<BR>
In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on the 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: Open Access To IPv6<BR>
<BR>
Proposal Originator: Stacy Hughes and Cathy Aronson<BR>
<BR>
Proposal Version: 1.0<BR>
<BR>
Date: 29 May 2009<BR>
<BR>
Proposal type: modify<BR>
<BR>
Policy term: permanent<BR>
<BR>
Policy statement:<BR>
<BR>
1) Remove “by advertising that connectivity through its single<BR>
aggregated address allocation” from article 3 of section 6.5.1.1<BR>
<BR>
2) Remove article 4 of section 6.5.1.1, “be an existing, known ISP in<BR>
the ARIN region or have a plan for making at least 200 end-site<BR>
assignments to other organizations within 5 years” in its entirety.<BR>
<BR>
Rationale: It is acknowledged that these concepts have been put before<BR>
the community in the past. However, with the wisdom of actual<BR>
operational experience, the necessity of promoting IPv6 adoption<BR>
throughout our region, and emerging native v6 only network models, it<BR>
becomes obvious that these modifications to the NRPM are necessary.<BR>
Removing the 200 end site requirement enables smaller, but no less<BR>
important and viable, networks access to IPv6. Removing the ‘known ISP’<BR>
requirement enfranchises new, native v6 businesses that can drive<BR>
innovation and expansion in the Internet industry, as well as other<BR>
industries. Removing the requirement for a single aggregate announcement<BR>
benefits the NRPM itself, as it has been decided by the community that<BR>
it should not contain routing advice.<BR>
<BR>
Timetable for implementation: immediately upon BoT ratification<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
