Suggestion: *

Section 11 of the NRPM permits allocations for recognized experimental 
activity. ARIN should prominently publish both the allocation and the 
supporting documentation for the experiment on the ARIN website. ARIN 
should also notify their relevant mailing lists and other technical 
mailing lists, such as nanog.

*Response:*

Thank you for submitting your suggestion, assigned identification number 
2014.3 .

NRPM 11 "Experimental Internet Resource Allocations" states that both 
the "experiment's objectives and practices" be described in a publicly 
accessible document and that the "experiment's outcomes be published in 
a publicly accessible document at the end of the experiment." Because 
the policy clearly requires any experiment in which ARIN issues 
resources to be publicly documented, it seems like adding information 
about these experimental allocations to the ARIN website would not only 
be consistent with policy, but would also benefit the community. ARIN 
will therefore proceed with this suggestion. Information published will 
include a description of the experiment/research project, the resources 
issued, and a link to the public documentation if one exists.

Additionally, ARIN will make an announcement to both the ARIN-PPML and 
NANOG mailing lists when these experimental allocations are made, to 
include a brief description of the project and the resources issued for 
that purpose.

Suggestion 2014.3 is now considered closed. Thank you for your 
participation in the ARIN ACSP.
