AC On-Docket Proposals Report John Sweeting Advisory Council Chair

AC Docket Proposals – AC adds to docket, or abandons Proposals On Docket – Developed by AC and brought to list and PPM as Draft Policy – Or perhaps not yet due to: Prioritization (deferred a couple proposals) Time constraints

Proposals on AC’s Docket Four Proposals still on docket: 95: Customer Confidentiality 97: Waiting List for Unmet IPv4 Requests 98: Last Minute Assistance for Small ISPs 99: /24 End User Minimum Allocation Unit

Proposal 95 PP 95: Customer Confidentiality – Proposal would require ISPs to provide only their customer’s names on reallocations and reassignments, while giving the ISP the option of providing their own address and phone number. – If requested by ARIN, full customer contact information must be provided. Such information will be kept confidential and not be published in WHOIS.

Proposal 97 PP 97: Waiting List for Unmet IPv4 Requests – Proposal would alter ARIN's current address issuing procedures and instead require the issuing of a single, contiguous address prefix for each approved IPv4 request. – Would create a waiting list for requestors whose IPv4 address needs cannot be fulfilled by ARIN at the time of approval of the request. – Tries to prevent gaming the intent by forbidding requestors from making multiple small requests.

Proposal 98 PP 98: Last Minute Assistance for Small ISPs – Proposal would reduce the initial ISP minimum prefix size (NRPM section 4.2.2) from /20 to /23 in stages, based on utilization of ARIN’s last /8: 90% use of /8 - Minimum is /21 95% - /22 97% - /23 – Proposal applies to the last /8, not transfers.

Proposal 99 PP 99: /24 End User Minimum Allocation Unit – Proposal would lower the multi-homed end user minimum prefix from /22 to /24. – If an end user requests additional address space, they would have to return the smaller prefix for a larger one (for example, a /24 would have to be returned for a /22).

Going Forward Your feedback is appreciated – Good discussion at the round tables this week! AC to work these with the goal of developing these proposals into Clear, Technically Sound, and Useful policy

Thank you
