This proposal is technically<br>>> sound, in that the removal of the text will more closely align with the way<br>>> staff applies the existing policy in relation to 8.3 transfers. There was<br>>> strong community support for the policy on PPML and at ARIN 36, which was<br>>> confirmed at ARIN 37. There was a suggestion to replace this text with an<br>>> alternate requirement. However, the community consensus was to move forward<br>>> with the removal alone.<br>>><br>>> The staff and legal review also suggested removing RFC2050 references and<br>>> pointed out that 4.2.3.6 has an additional 25% immediate use clause,<br>>> community feedback was to deal with those issues separately.<br>>><br>>> Problem Statement:<br>>><br>>> End-user policy is intended to provide end-users with a one year supply of<br>>> IP addresses. Qualification for a one-year supply requires the network<br>>> operator to utilize at least 25% of the requested addresses within 30 days.<br>>> This text is unrealistic and should be removed.<br>>><br>>> First, it often takes longer than 30 days to stage equipment and start<br>>> actually using the addresses.<br>>><br>>> Second, growth is often not that regimented; the forecast is to use X<br>>> addresses over the course of a year, not to use 25% of X within 30 days.<br>>><br>>> Third, this policy text applies to additional address space requests. It is<br>>> incompatible with the requirements of other additional address space request<br>>> justification which indicates that 80% utilization of existing space is<br>>> sufficient to justify new space. If a block is at 80%, then often (almost<br>>> always?) the remaining 80% will be used over the next 30 days and longer.<br>>> Therefore the operator cannot honestly state they will use 25% of the<br>>> ADDITIONAL space within 30 days of receiving it; they're still trying to use<br>>> their older block efficiently.<br>>><br>>> Fourth, in the face of ARIN exhaustion, some ISPs are starting to not give<br>>> out /24 (or larger) blocks. So the justification for the 25% rule that<br>>> previously existed (and in fact, applied for many years) is no longer<br>>> germane.<br>>><br>>> Policy statement:<br>>><br>>> Remove the 25% utilization criteria bullet point from NRPM 4.3.3.<br>>><br>>> Resulting text:<br>>><br>>> 4.3.3. Utilization rate<br>>><br>>> Utilization rate of address space is a key factor in justifying a new<br>>> assignment of IP address space. Requesters must show exactly how previous<br>>> address assignments have been utilized and must provide appropriate details<br>>> to verify their one-year growth projection.<br>>><br>>> The basic criterion that must be met is a 50% utilization rate within one<br>>> year.<br>>><br>>> A greater utilization rate may be required based on individual network<br>>> requirements. Please refer to RFC 2050 for more information on utilization<br>>> guidelines.<br>>><br>>> Comments:<br>>><br>>> a.Timetable for implementation: Immediate<br>>><br>>> b.Anything else<br>>><br>>> #####<br>>><br>>> ARIN STAFF ASSESSMENT<br>>><br>>> Draft Policy ARIN-2015-3<br>>> Remove 30 day utilization requirement in end-user IPv4 policy<br>>> Date of Assessment: 16 February 2016<br>>><br>>> ___<br>>> 1. Summary (Staff Understanding)<br>>><br>>> This proposal would remove the 25% utilization (within 30 days of issuance)<br>>> criteria bullet point from NRPM 4.3.3.<br>>><br>>> ___<br>>> 2. Comments<br>>><br>>> A. ARIN Staff Comments<br>>> This policy would more closely align with the way staff applies the existing<br>>> policy in relation to 8.3 transfers. Because there is no longer an IPv4 free<br>>> pool and many IPv4 requests are likely to be satisfied by 8.3 transfers, the<br>>> adoption of this policy should have no major impact on operations and could<br>>> be implemented as written.<br>>><br>>> Note that both NRPM 4.3.3 and NRPM 4.2.3.6 contain references to obsolete<br>>> RFC 2050. Additionally, 4.2.3.6 references the 25% immediate use (within 30<br>>> days of issuance) requirement.<br>>><br>>> Staff suggests removing the first two sentences of 4.2.3.6 to remove the<br>>> references to RFC 2050 and the 25% requirement. Additionally, staff suggests<br>>> removing the reference to the obsolete RFC 2050 in section 4.3.3.<br>>><br>>> B. ARIN General Counsel – Legal Assessment<br>>> No material legal risk in this policy.<br>>><br>>> ___<br>>> 3. Resource Impact<br>>><br>>> This policy would have minimal resource impact from an implementation<br>>> aspect.
