Draft Policy ARIN-2012-1<br>
Clarifying Requirements for IPv4 Transfers<br>
<br>
Date: 11 April 2012<br>
<br>
Replace Section 8.3 with<br>
<br>
8.3 Transfers between Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region.<br>
<br>
In addition to transfers under section 8.2, IPv4 numbers resources may be transferred according to the following conditions.<br>
<br>
Conditions on source of the transfer:<br>
<br>
* The source entity must be the current registered holder of the IPv4<br>
address resources, and not be involved in any dispute as to the status of those resources.<br>
* The source entity will be ineligible to receive any further IPv4 address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months after a transfer approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, whichever occurs first.<br>
* The source entity must not have received a transfer, allocation, or<br>
assignment of IPv4 number resources from ARIN for the 12 months prior to<br>
the approval of a transfer request. This restriction does not include M&A transfers.<br>
* The minimum transfer size is a /24<br>
<br>
Conditions on recipient of the transfer:<br>
<br>
* The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24 month supply of<br>
IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA.<br>
* The resources transferred will be subject to current ARIN policies.<br>
<br>
Add Section 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients<br>
<br>
Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the<br>
transfer and share reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies.<br>
<br>
Conditions on source of the transfer:<br>
<br>
* The source entity must be the current rights holder of the IPv4 address resources recognized by the RIR responsible for the resources, and not be involved in any dispute as to the status of those resources.<br>
* Source entities outside of the ARIN region must meet any requirements<br>
defined by the RIR where the source entity holds the registration.<br>
* Source entities within the ARIN region will not be eligible to receive<br>
any further IPv4 address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months after a transfer approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, whichever occurs first.<br>
* Source entities within the ARIN region must not have received a<br>
transfer, allocation, or assignment of IPv4 number resources from ARIN for the 12 months prior to the approval of a transfer request. This<br>
restriction does not include M&A transfers.<br>
* The minimum transfer size is a /24.<br>
<br>
Conditions on recipient of the transfer:<br>
<br>
* The conditions on a recipient outside of the ARIN region will be defined by the policies of the receiving RIR.<br>
* Recipients within the ARIN region will be subject to current ARIN<br>
policies and sign an RSA for the resources being received.<br>
* Recipients within the ARIN region must demonstrate the need for up to a 24 month supply of IPv4 address space.<br>
* The minimum transfer size is a /24<br>
<br>
Rationale:<br>
<br>
The original text of this proposal attempted to clarify the requirements<br>
of an IPv4 address transfer while protecting any resources remaining in<br>
the ARIN free pool. This revision is a result of feedback from the mailing list, ARIN Staff, and discussions with the original author. The one key point that has been removed from the original text is that a needs based review remains in place.<br>
<br>
The current text attempts to retain the original concepts of protecting an ARIN free pool, and incorporating it with the point of bringing resources under RSA. The resulting text attempts to put safeguards in place on the practice of paid transfers by creating a black out period for transfers and requests to the free pool. The text also tries to incorporate discussions regarding inter-RIR transfers and come up with language that includes the free pool protections for transfers in and out of the Region.<br>
<br>
Timetable for implementation: immediate.<br>
