<p class="MsoNormal">In light of this afternoon's discussion about simplification of the NPRM, I thought I'd dust off a post-exhaustion NRPM 4 simplification proposal I wrote a couple years ago. There are a lot of parts that need updating in light of more recent modifications (expect another email later), but there are a few that seem rather simple and uncontroversial. Can anyone think of any reason not to submit a proposal with all four of these? Anyone interested in (co-)authoring it?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">1. Delete from 4.1.6 Aggregation the text that reads “ARIN may
reserve space to maximize aggregation possibilities until the implementation of
section 10.4.2.2, at which time”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: remove inoperative text</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Delete section 4.2.1.2 Annual Renewal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: Remove operational details (already covered by
the RSA and ARIN procedures) from NRPM.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Delete section 4.2.2.1.1. Use of /24</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: After exhaustion, many organizations can no
longer get a /24 from their upstream ISP, and need to be able to get their
initial allocation from ARIN.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Delete section 4.2.3.2. VLSM</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: VLSM and CIDR are now standard practice, and don’t
need to be called out in NRPM.</p>
