The result is that the data visible in ARIN registry may become more inaccurate over<br class="">time.<br class=""><br class="">Policy statement:<br class="">This proposal eliminates all needs-based evaluation language for sections 8.2 and 8.3, allowing<br class="">transfers to be reflected in the database as they occur following an agreement of transfer from the<br class="">resource provider to the recipient.<br class=""><br class="">Section 8.1 Principles:<br class="">- Strike the fragment from the 3rd paragraph which reads<br class=""> ", based on justified need, "<br class="">so the resulting text reads<br class="">"Number resources are issued to organizations, not to individuals representing those organizations."<br class="">Section 8.2 Mergers and Acquisitions:<br class="">- Change the 4th bullet from:<br class="">"The resources to be transferred will be subject to ARIN policies."<br class="">to:<br class="">"The resources to be transferred will be subject to ARIN policies, excluding any policies related to needs-based justification."<br class=""><br class="">- Strike the final paragraph which begins "In the event that number resources of the combined organizations are no longer justified under ARIN policy ..."<br class=""><br class="">Section 8.3 Transfers between Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region:<br class="">- Change the first bullet under "Conditions on recipient of the transfer" from:<br class="">"The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA."<br class="">to:<br class="">"The recipient must sign an RSA."<br class=""><br class="">- Change the 2nd bullet under "Conditions on recipient of the transfer" from:<br class="">"The resources to be transferred will be subject to ARIN policies."<br class="">to:<br class="">"The resources to be transferred will be subject to ARIN policies, excluding any policies related to needs-based justification."<br class=""><br class="">Comments:<br class="">a. Timetable for implementation: Immediate<br class="">b. Anything else<br class="">As the "free pool" for 4 of the 5 world's RIR's (APNIC, RIPE, LACNIC, and ARIN) have now been<br class="">exhausted, networks in need of additional IPv4 addresses have shifted away from the practice of<br class="">receiving them from the RIR's resource pool. Instead, networks in need are seeking out current holders<br class="">of IPv4 resources who are willing to transfer them in order to fulfill that need. Accordingly, the RIR's<br class="">primary responsibility vis-à-vis IPv4 netblock governance has shifted from "allocation" to ensuring an<br class="">accurate registry database.<br class=""><br class="">The RIPE registry can be used as a reference of one which has evolved over the past couple years to<br class="">shift their focus away from conservation/allocation and towards database accuracy. IPv4 netblock<br class="">transfers within that RIR consist merely of validating authenticity of the parties requesting a transfer.<br class="">Provided the organizations meet the basic requirement of RIR membership, and that the transferring<br class="">organization has the valid authority to request the transfer, the transaction completes without any<br class="">"needs-based" review.<br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">PPML<br class="">You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to<br class="">the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (<a href="mailto:ARIN-PPML@arin.net" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">ARIN-PPML@arin.net</a>).<br class="">Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at:<br class=""><a href="http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml</a><br class="">Please contact<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:info@arin.net" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">info@arin.net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>if you experience any issues.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><br class=""><br clear="all" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">--<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Cheers,<br class=""><br class="">McTim<br class="">"A name indicates what we seek.
