<div>You have applied through proper channels but your request is not valid as </div>
<div>it does not meet allocation policy criteria. ARIN cannot allocate IPv4 </div>
<div>resources to your organization as a result of that invalid request.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As others have noted, under the ISP multi-homed initial allocation policies<br>
(NRPM 4.2.2.2), there is a requirement to utilized the equivalent of a /23<br>
(generally from your upstream ISP) before receiving for initial allocation <br>
from ARIN. This is not a policy requirement which is unique to your business <br>
but long-standing requirement in policy that all service providers have had <br>
to satisfy when making that transition.<br>
<br>

Jimmy Hess did make an excellent point with regard to transfers - under the</div>
<div style="font-family: monospace; ">8.3 specified transfer policy, your full IP address needs for 24 months can </div>
<div style="font-family: monospace; ">be considered in approving a transfer, and as such that may be more helpful</div>
<div style="font-family: monospace; ">with your present situation. As ARIN is obligated to follow the existing </div>
<div style="font-family: monospace; ">policy as adopted, a transfer may be a more timely option that developing </div>
<div style="font-family: monospace; ">a policy change to these requirements for initial ISP allocations.</div>
