Draft Policy ARIN-2026-3

---

Current Text (11 June 2026)

Problem Statement

Current NRPM Section 6.4.1 contains language referring to property rights of IPv6 direct allocations made by ARIN. Past references to any rights on IP resources was defined in legacy versions of the Resource Services Agreement between an entity and ARIN. Any mention of property or other rights do not belong in the Number Resource Policy Manual, this should be referenced in the Registration Services Agreement. Section 6 of the Number Resource Policy Manual was modeled on a framework the other RIRs added to their policy manuals going back as far as 2004.
