stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these<br>
principles are:<br>
<br>
* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration<br>
* Technically Sound<br>
* Supported by the Community<br>

Draft Policy ARIN-2017-10: Repeal of Immediate Need for IPv4 Address<br>
Space (NRPM Section 4.2.1.6)<br>
<br>
Problem Statement:<br>
<br>
Section 4.2.1.6 of the ARIN Numbering Resource Policy Manual (NRPM)<br>
provides that an ISP having an immediate need for IPv4 address space<br>
that will be utilized within thirty days of a request may obtain a block<br>
of IPv4 address space of the size specified in section 4.2.1.6 from ARIN<br>
on an exceptional basis. However, as noted in the ARIN 40 Policy<br>
Experience Report, since IPv4 exhaustion, obtaining IPv4 addresses in<br>
this manner is no longer possible as a practical matter. Instead an ISP<br>
must join the waiting list and wait until it reaches the front of the<br>
queue to obtain any IPv4 address space, however long that may take. In<br>
effect, section 4.2.1.6 is non-operative. Accordingly, its continued<br>
presence in the NRPM is misleading and confusing.<br>
<br>
Policy statement:<br>
<br>
Section 4.2.1.6 of the NRPM is hereby repealed and section number<br>
4.2.1.6 is hereby retired.<br>
<br>
Comments:<br>
<br>
a. Timetable for implementation: Immediate<br>
<br>
b. Comments: Given the constraints created by the exhaustion of IPv4<br>
addresses, this proposal does not require any changes in the current<br>
ARIN practices for the allocation of IPv4 address space.<br>
