<p class="MsoNormal">The time has come to discuss Community Networks. Sections 2.11 and 6.59 of the NRPM outline the definition of Community Networks and grant them special permission to obtain a /40 block of IPv6 space. This Community Networks policy was
added in 2008 and to date only one Community Network has been active.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ARIN policy 2020-3 lowered the IPv6 minimum allocation to a /40, equaling the allocation available to Community Networks. With the implementation of this policy, there is no longer any advantage to obtaining ipv6 space as a Community Network.
Community Networks are limited to a /40 and are only permitted to make reassignments, not reallocations. All fees are the same and there is no policy for ipv4 space for Community Networks.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like your feedback on removing Community Networks from ARIN policy.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Draft Policy below:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Problem Statement:</b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sections 2.11 and 6.5.9 define Community Networks, and provide special dispensation for Community Networks to receive only a /40 of IPv6 space. When these sections were last materially updated in 2017 (ARIN-2017-8), the smallest allowed
allocation to a normal ARIN LIR was a /36, so the Community Networks sections still provided value. In 2020 (ARIN-2020-3) however, the NRPM was amended such that any LIR may request to receive only a /40 for any reason. As such, the carveout for Community
Networks to receive a /40 is no longer necessary, and potentially confusing.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Policy Statement:</b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Retire Sections 2.11 and 6.5.9<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Timetable for Implementation:</b> Immediate.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you!<u></u><u></u></p>
