I'd like to propose the following rewrite of this section as
replacement text for ARIN-2014-21. I believe this rewrite deals
with the clarity issues that you have noted. I believe this
rewrite does not change operational practice (other than the /15
replacing the current /16), but provides some needed clarity in
this section from multiple amendments over the years. <br>

there has been very little discussion on this policy.
<br>
<br>
Therefore, as one of the AC shepherds for this policy I would like
to initiate some discussion of this policy. Here are a few
questions for the ARIN community to think about and provide
feedback on;
<br>
<br>
- The current CI reservation is for all CI not just IXPs, the
problem statement discusses growth primarily in the IXPs as
justification to expand the reservation. Should we split off a
separate reservation pool for IXPs? Or, keep the current common
CI pool?
<br>
<br>
- ARIN-2011-4 the policy that made the original CI reservation had
a Policy Term of 36 Months following implementation, but this was
not in the policy text itself and therefore did not get included
in the NRPM.
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2011_4.html">https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2011_4.html</a>
<br>
<br>
If applicable, this would have expired July 2014. So, should
there be expiration date included in this policy text? If there
should be no expiration date, should we explicitly note the
removal of any expiration date in the discussion of this policy?
<br>
<br>
- There was discussion of smaller and larger than /24 IXP
allocations, like /26 on the smaller side and that some very large
IXPs are starting to need as large as a /22. Also discussed was,
sparse allocation for IXPs to allow expansion without
renumbering. Should this policy includes any changes along these
lines? Why or why not?
<br>
<br>
- Should we try to get this to the PPC at NANOG 63 in San Antonio
as a Recommended Draft Policy? Or should it wait go to the PPM at
ARIN 35 in San Francisco as a Recommended Draft Policy? What
about ARIN free pool run-out timing?
<br>
<br>
Do you support the policy as written, if not are there any changes
that could be made that would allow you to support the policy?
<br>
<br>
Thanks.

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-21
<br>
Modification to CI Pool Size per Section 4.4
<br>
<br>
Date: 25 November 2014
<br>
<br>
Problem Statement:
<br>
<br>
At the time that this section of policy was written, IXP growth
in North
<br>
America was stagnant. Efforts of late have increased
significantly
<br>
within the IXP standards and other communities to improve
critical
<br>
infrastructure in North America. This effort is paying dividends
and we
<br>
project that a /16 will not be enough to continue to improve
global
<br>
interconnect conditions and support needed IXP CI
infrastructure.
<br>
<br>
Policy statement:
<br>
<br>
Change to text in section 4.4 Micro Allocations:
<br>
<br>
Current text:
<br>
<br>
ARIN will place an equivalent of a /16 of IPv4 address space in
a
<br>
reserve for Critical Infrastructure, as defined in section 4.4.
If at
<br>
the end of the policy term there is unused address space
remaining in
<br>
this pool, ARIN staff is authorized to utilize this space in a
manner
<br>
consistent with community expectations.
<br>
<br>
Proposed text to replace current text entirely:
<br>
<br>
ARIN will place an equivalent of a /15 of IPv4 address space in
a
<br>
reserve for Critical Infrastructure, as defined in section 4.4.
<br>
<br>
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
