                  Draft Policy ARIN-2017-7: Retire Obsolete Section 4
                  from the NRPM<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Problem Statement:<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Since IPv4 free pool exhaustion, policy focus has
                  shifted to transfers. The community elected, instead
                  of revamping and modernizing section 4 in light of
                  this to, instead, recreate the relevant parts of
                  section 4 in section 8.5. As a result, section 4 is
                  generally obsolete and can be mostly retired. Since
                  some small amounts of space do occasionally recreate
                  the free pool, a mechanism for addressing this must
                  remain and therefore a much reduced section 4 is
                  proposed here instead of outright retirement.<br
                    class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Policy statement:<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Replace section 4 of the NRPM with the following:<br
                    class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4. IPv4<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.1 IPv4 Requests<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.1.1 Any new requests for IPv4 addresses allocated or
                  assigned by ARIN shall be evaluated based on the
                  criteria for transfer recipients contained in section
                  8.5.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.1.2 Any approved requests which cannot be met from
                  the ARIN free pool shall be handled according to
                  section 4.2.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.2 Unmet requests<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  In the event that ARIN does not have a contiguous
                  block of addresses of sufficient size to fulfill a
                  qualified request, ARIN will provide the requesting
                  organization with the option to specify the smallest
                  block size they'd be willing to accept, equal to or
                  larger than the applicable minimum size specified
                  elsewhere in ARIN policy. If such a smaller block is
                  available, ARIN will fulfill the request with the
                  largest single block available that fulfills the
                  request. If no such block is available, the
                  organization will be provided the option to be placed
                  on a waiting list of pre-qualified recipients, listing
                  both the block size qualified for and the smallest
                  block size acceptable.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Repeated requests are not allowed: an organization may
                  only receive one allocation, assignment, or transfer
                  every 3 months, but ARIN, at its sole discretion, may
                  waive this requirement if the requester can document a
                  change in circumstances since their last request that
                  could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of
                  the original request, and which now justifies
                  additional space.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Qualified requesters whose request cannot be
                  immediately met will also be advised of the
                  availability of the transfer mechanism in section 8.3
                  as an alternative mechanism to obtain IPv4 addresses.<br
                    class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.2.1. Waiting list<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  The position of each qualified request on the waiting
                  list will be determined by the date it was approved.
                  Each organization may have one approved request on the
                  waiting list at a time.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  4.2.2. Fulfilling unmet needs<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  As address blocks become available for allocation,
                  ARIN will fulfill requests on a first-approved basis,
                  subject to the size of each available address block
                  and a timely re-validation of the original request.
                  Requests will not be partially filled. Any requests
                  met through a transfer will be considered fulfilled
                  and removed from the waiting list.<br class="">
