<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi ppml,</div><div><br></div><div>We haven't seen a lot of support for ARIN 2020-10 since it's introduction. This proposal arose out of a policy experience report, but we've seen very little said about it from anyone that thinks this is a problem that needs to be solved or that the current text of NRPM here is negatively impacting their organization. We've heard from a few members of the community who are opposed to the proposal, and those who believe the current distinction between organizations that already have reassignments/reallocations from their upstreams and organizations with no space at all makes sense. We'd like to give the community one last chance to speak out in favor of this proposal before abandoning it. If you think this is a problem that needs to be solved, please let us know.</div><div><br></div><div>Best, <br></div><div><br></div><div>Amy<br></div><div><br></div><div>***<br></div><div><br></div><div>

an ISP does already have holdings in the form of reassignments or
reallocations, and they request a /24, or even a /29 as an initial
allocation - they are required to provide utilization data. This slows
their advancement to the waiting list compared to a new ISP without any
holdings at all. An organization without reassignments or reallocations
doesn’t need to provide any justification other than submitting the
request and providing an officer attestation. This expedites their
addition to the waiting list.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Policy Statement: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Replace 4.2.2 with the following:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">4.2.2.
