Current draft text: <br class="">
<br class="">
The fact that a unique address or even a unique /64 prefix is
non-permanently provided to third parties, on a link operated by
the original receiver of the assignment, shall not be considered a
sub-assignment. This includes, for example, guests or employees
(devices or servers), hotspots, and point-to-point links or VPNs.
The provision of addressing for permanent connectivity or
broadband services is still considered a sub-assignment. Only the
addressing of the point-to-point link itself can be permanent and
that addressing can't be used (neither directly or indirectly) for
the actual communication.
<br class="">
<br class="">
My suggested rewrite:<br class="">
<br class="">
A unique address or a unique /64 prefix that is non-permanently
provided to third parties, shall not be considered an assignment.

I support a change to section 2 that is not quite so IPv6
specific and focused more on the idea that providing hotspot,
guest access, or other such temporary access does not
necessitate the making of re-assignments from a policy
perspective. Furthermore, such uses are not in conflict with
the conditions of an assignment (made by ARIN) or
re-assignment (made by an ISP or LIR). Also, If the details of
RFC8273 need to be mentioned at all, they should be someplace
in section 6, not in section 2, the definitions of assign,
allocate, re-assign and re-allocate should remain agnostic
about IP version.<br class="">

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on
PPML. The AC will evaluate the discussion in order
to assess the conformance of this draft policy with
ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy
as stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP).
Specifically, these principles are:<br class="">
<br class="">
* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource
Administration<br class="">
* Technically Sound<br class="">
* Supported by the Community<br class="">
<br class="">

Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on IPv6
Sub-Assignments<br class="">
<br class="">
Problem Statement:<br class="">
<br class="">
When the policy was drafted, the concept of
assignments/sub-assignments did not consider a
practice very common in IPv4 which is replicated and
even amplified in IPv6: the use of IP addresses for
point-to-point links or VPNs.<br class="">
<br class="">
In the case of IPv6, instead of unique addresses,
the use of unique prefixes (/64) is increasingly
common.<br class="">
<br class="">
Likewise, the policy failed to consider the use of
IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP addresses
by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD) and many other similar cases.<br class="">
<br class="">
Finally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a
unique /64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273)
instead of a unique address. This, for example,
allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64
such that they are “isolated” from other users (for
reasons of security, regulatory requirements, etc.)
and they can also use multiple virtual machines on
their devices with a unique address for each one
(within the same /64).<br class="">
<br class="">
Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign),
explicitly prohibits such assignments, stating that
“Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to other
parties”.<br class="">
<br class="">
This proposal clarifies this situation in this
regard and better define the concept, particularly
considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by means of
a new paragraph.<br class="">
<br class="">
5. Policy Statement<br class="">
<br class="">
Actual Text<br class="">
<br class="">
• Assign - To assign means to delegate address
space to an ISP or end-user, for specific use within
the Internet infrastructure they operate.
Assignments must only be made for specific purposes
documented by specific organizations and are not to
be sub-assigned to other parties.<br class="">

<br class="">
a. Timetable for implementation:<br class="">
<br class="">
Immediate<br class="">
<br class="">
b. Anything else:<br class="">
<br class="">
Situation in other regions: This situation, has
already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was
updated in a similar way, even if right now there is
a small discrepancy between the policy text that
reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact Analysis.
A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend
that, and the text is the same as presented by this
proposal at ARIN. Same text has also been submitted
to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC.<br class="">
