Draft Policy ARIN-2015-1: Modification to Criteria for IPv6 Initial End-User Assignments

Speaker: Scott Leibrand, ARIN Advisory Council

Presentation: PDF
Transcript

Paul Andersen introduced Scott Leibrand who presented the rationale for the proposal and solicited feedback.

Background

• Advisory Council shepherds: Scott Leibrand and David Huberman

• Introduced on PPML in March 2015 (ARIN-prop-215)

• This draft policy was discussed during the ARIN 35

• Policy seeks to make it easier for end-users to get IPv6 without requiring IPv4

• Provided use cases where this would be beneficial

• Solicited feedback on this proposal

Paul Andersen moderated discussion.

Discussion highlights

• Would getting IPv6 under this policy make it possible to get IPv4 from the block reserved for transition to IPv6?
• Requiring 13 sites seems steep for small users who want to deploy IPv6.

Draft Policy ARIN-2015-2: Modify 8.4 (Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients)

Speaker: Tina Morris, ARIN Advisory Council

Presentation: PDF
Transcript

Paul Andersen introduced Tina Morris who presented the text of the proposal and then the rationale.

Background

• Advisory Council shepherds: Cathy Aronson and Chris Tacit

• Introduced on PPML in May 2015 (ARIN-prop-216)

• This is the first time this draft policy is being discussed at an ARIN Public Policy Consultation

• Rationale for the proposal

• Overview of text

• Noted this is a topic of active discussion on PPML

• Solicited feedback from the audience

Paul Andersen moderated discussion.

Discussion highlights

• Why do you need to transfer space from ARIN to APNIC in order to support a business in China?
• This proposal seems to focus on extending the life of IPv4. Why not focus effort on increasing IPv6 deployment, rather than just shuffling IPv4?
• This seems like a problem to solve, but this draft is not ready to move forward.
• If space isn’t being efficiently used in one region, I don’t see the problem with moving space where it can be used.

Draft Policy ARIN-2015-3: Remove 30 day utilization requirement in end-user IPv4 policy

Speaker: John Springer, ARIN Advisory Council

Presentation: PDF
Transcript

Paul Andersen introduced John Springer who presented the text of the proposal and then the rationale.

Background

• Advisory Council shepherds: David Farmer and Leif Sawyer

• This is the first time this draft policy is being discussed at an ARIN Public Policy Consultation

• Rationale for the proposal

• Overview of text

• Request for community feedback

Paul Andersen moderated discussion.

Discussion highlights

• Agree with getting rid of the 30-day requirement.
• Striking the 25% requirement creates potential for abuse.
• The 25% in one month then 50% in a year seems nonsensical.
• There were no specific suggestions on what would be reasonable.

• Introduced on PPML in May 2015 (ARIN-prop-218)

• Rationale for the proposal

• Overview of text

• Clarification would make it simpler for organizations to clean up their data

• Solicited feedback from the audience

Paul Andersen moderated discussion.

Discussion highlights

• What is the difference between a merger & acquisition and a reorganization in ARIN’s point of view?
• Anything that makes it easier to keep organization data up to date and to consolidate Org Ids is a good idea.
• This is an example of how the NRPM is overly specific about operational practices.

Future ARIN Public Policy Consultations (PPCs)

Speaker: Paul Andersen, Vice Chair, ARIN Board of Trustees

Transcript

Paul Andersen explained how the concept of the Public Policy Consultation developed. Dan Alexander posed a question to the audience regarding what would be most useful to the operator community as a way to inform and solicit input.

Discussion highlights

• Five meetings is too many, soliciting operator community input is good, but treating it as part of the policy development process is a bad idea
• If PPCs carry the same weight as a PPM then the full Board and Advisory Counsel should be present
• Is there any reason why both ARIN meetings can’t be co-hosted with NANOG to maximize input and minimize travel
• The NANOG program committee is also considering the value that the PPC brings to NANOG, so this discussion is timely
• PPC’s allow the AC to move the discussion forward. The virtual venues don’t seem spark the same level of input
• Virtual options need to be improved to be useful
• The Public Policy Consultation is a poor substitute for a Public Policy meeting
• Other suggestions on ways to schedule ARIN meetings

For discussion details, please see the transcript.
