Draft Policy ARIN-2019-20: Harmonization of Maximum Allocation
Requirements under Sections 4.1.8 (ARIN Waitlist) and 4.2.2 (Initial
Allocation to ISPs)
Problem Statement:
Under the current ARIN waitlist policy (section 4.1.8), ARIN now only
issues IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding section 4.4 and 4.10
space) from the ARIN waitlist. The maximum size aggregate for which an
organization may qualify at any one time is a /22. On the other hand,
the current initial allocations to ISPs policy (section 4.2.2) provides
that direct assignments or allocations from ARIN qualify for an initial
allocation of up to a /21, subject to ARIN’s minimum allocation size.
This proposal seeks to resolve the conflict in the maximum allocation
size requirements between the two sections in favour of the requirement
in the waitlist policy, since that is the one that is intended to govern
at the present time. Reconciling the policy language as proposed herein
will avoid confusion by readers of the NRPM.
Policy statement:
Change the first sentence of section 4.2.2 to read:
“All ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from
ARIN qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /22, subject to ARIN’s
minimum allocation size.”
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
