<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Went back to work on language that may have an impact. We seem to have dropped three paragraphs from drafts that are in the current policy. I can't tell if it's intentional but I'll assume it was. Doesn't appear clearly marked for deletion unless I missed it. The original or the June edit was also not a mirror of the RIPE proposal. ARIN can decide if anything needs to be fixed documentation wise or if we could use the help of a red line for the below. Didn't matter much anyhow.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The easiest way to extend the life of the micro allocation pool will be to apply better justification standards. Right now, 26% of US IXPs don't meet the minimum criteria for an initial /24 using the existing policy. Most of that happened in the last few years and as Aaron Wendell discussed at the last meeting.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Here's what I support</div><div><br></div><div>- Initial allocation of a /26 to a new IXP, and<br></div><div>- Include "CI" to keep it simple and consistent. No reason to single out IXPs<br></div><div>- A voluntary global routability requirement determined by applicant for CI<br></div><div>- Tightened utilization requirements for CI<br></div><div>- Removing the possibility of other RIR's asking ARIN for allocations (glitch?)<br></div><div><br></div><div>If the root or a TLD can't do it, what makes anyone think an IXP can?</div><div><br></div><div>I agree with my RIPE friends' comments regarding up front costs. It already costs $11,000 for a "free" IXP without a /24. Add a transfer /24 and it's $22,000 not including opex, RIR fees, depreciation, etc. If it does cost a future IXP an additional $11,000 for a /24 and it's not easily absorbed (lots of that happening today) they failed and will not start up. Turning the knobs on network economics should go slow - as they also acknowledged. And should als be applied to non-CI first. That seems like a faster way to enable better transition.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On a last note. It would be nice to have a "style sheet" so we had consistency with defined terms and language. Repeating "under this section" and other "time honored traditions" makes policy hard to read when it doesn't have to be.<br></div><div><br></div><div>

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in"><font size="2" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">ARIN will make IPv4 micro-allocations to critical infrastructure (“CI”) providers
of the Internet, which includes Internet Exchange Points (“IXP”), IANA
authorized root servers, top-level domain operators and this RIR. Requests for IPv4
allocations will be no smaller than a /26 or larger than a /23 for allocations which
require global reachability. Global reachability requirements will be
determined by the requestor. ARIN will maintain a previously reserved /15 of IPv4 address space for the purposes of CI allocations.<span></span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in"><font size="2" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">4.4.1 Additional Requirement for IXPs</font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in"><font size="2" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">An IXP requesting an initial IPv4 allocation from the blocks specifically reserved for this purpose will initially
be assigned a /26 allocated from a /24 by default if they demonstrate three independent
ASN’s are planning to interconnect on the IXP fabric using the requested
allocation. An IXP requesting an allocation larger than a /24 must show their
plan to utilize more than 50% of the requested allocation size up to a /23. Allocations
larger than a /23 will be considered on a case-by-case basis using usual and
customary allocation practices in effect at the time of the request.<span></span></font></p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Nov 21, 2023 at 12:34 PM ARIN <<a href="mailto:info@arin.net">info@arin.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8501523600580573315"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_-8501523600580573315WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">In accordance with the Policy Development Process (PDP), the Advisory Council met on 16 November 2023.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The AC has advanced the following to Draft Policy status (will be posted separately for discussion):<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">* ARIN-prop-327: Reduce 4.18 maximum allocation<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The AC advances Proposals to Draft Policy status once they are found to be within the scope of the Policy Development Process (PDP) and contain a clear problem statement.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The AC has advanced the following to Recommended Draft Policy status (will be posted separately for discussion):<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">* ARIN-2023-1: Retire 4.2.1.4.
