Draft Policy ARIN-2023-3

Amendment of the waitlist agreement to include a restriction on leasing

Status: Abandoned
Shepherds: Chris Tacit, Gerry George

Current Text (20 June 2023)

Problem Statement:

Currently section 4.18 prohibits the transfer of waitlist space for a period of 60 months. However, there are no restrictions on leasing out the space immediately after obtaining it from the waitlist.

Policy Statement:

Modify the current text in 4.18 from:

ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding 4.4 and 4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist. The maximum size aggregate that an organization may qualify for at any one time is a /22. Organizations will be able to elect a smaller block size than they qualify for down to a /24. Organizations which hold more than a /20 equivalent of IPv4 space in aggregate (exclusive of special use space received under section 4.4 or 4.10) are not eligible to apply. Address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for transfer, with the exception of Section 8.2 transfers, for a period of 60 months. This policy will be applied to all future distributions from the waitlist to include those currently listed.
