ACSP Suggestion 2010.22: Exception for Requests of a 12-month supply of IPv4 address received prior to IANA depletion

Suggestion

Author: Chris Grundemann   
Submitted On: 21 December 2010

Description:

Under current ARIN policy, when ARIN receives its last /8 as a result of the IANA “last five” global policy, the length of supply that any organization may request from ARIN from that moment forward is to be reduced to three months.

I propose that Any request submitted prior to that moment must continue to be eligible for a twelve month supply of IPv4 addresses as long as need has been reasonably demonstrated and the application is not deemed frivolous.

In other words; legitimate requests must be honored if submitted prior to IANA exhaustion.

Timeframe: Immediate

Changes to Internet number resource policy must go through the ARIN Policy Development Process, therefore this suggestion cannot be handled via the ACSP. You may wish to consider submitting a policy proposal for community consideration.

Thank you for your suggestion. ACSP 2010.22 is considered closed.
