Draft Policy 2008-6
Emergency Transfer Policy for IPv4 Addresses
Author: Bill Darte
Date: 24 January 2009
Policy statement:
8.4 Emergency Transfer Policy for IPv4 Addresses
For a period of 3 years from policy implementation, authorized resource
holders served by ARIN may designate a recipient for number resources they
release to ARIN.
Number resources may only be received under RSA in the exact amount
which can be justified under ARIN resource-allocation policies.
Rationale:
In order for ARIN to fulfill its mission and to facilitate a continuing
supply of IPv4 address resources to its service community when ARIN
resources are no longer adequate, and to preserve the integrity of
documentation and ARIN services for those resources, this policy may be
implemented. Its intent is to preserve the current tradition of
need-based allocation/assignments for those still needing IPv4 resources
during a transition period as the industry adopts IPv6. This policy is
not intended to create a ‘market’ for such transfers and does not
introduce or condone the monetization of address resources or a view of
addresses as property. It does recognize that organizations making
available unused or no longer needed address resources may incur certain
costs that might be compensated by those acquiring the resources. This
policy is intended to be transient and light-weight and does not
encourage a sustained or continuing role for IPv4, but rather helps to
mitigate a transitional crisis that may emerge while the industry adopts
IPv6 in accordance with the recommendation of ARIN’s Board of Trustees.
Timetable for implementation:
This policy, once ratified by the ARIN Board of Trustees, would be
implemented when either the free-pool of IANA addresses is exhausted or
IPv4 address resources in the ARIN Region reach a threshold of scarcity
recognized by the ARIN Board of Trustees as requiring this policy
implementation.
