ARIN-prop-235: Clarify generic references to "IP Addresses" in NRPM [Archived]

Proposal Originator: Owen DeLong

Date: 16 February 2017

Problem Statement:

This is intended as an editorial change. It is trivial and does not change the meaning of policy.

There are numerous references in Section 4, and one in Section 8, to the term “IP address(es)” or simply “addresses” which are not specific as to IP version even though the intent is specifically IPv4 addresses.

Policy statement:

Change the references in the following sections to “IP Address(es)” or “address(es) to “IPv4 Address(es)”

4.1.5: …requested IPv4 address…

4.1.8: …contiguous block of IPv4 addresses…

4.2.1.1: …allocates blocks of IPv4 addresses…

4.2.1.4: …available IPv4 addresses… and …Therefore, IPv4 address space…

4.2.1.5: …larger IPv4 address…

4.2.2.1.2: …use of IPv4 address space…

4.2.3.2: …reassigning IPv4 address space… (could also be changed to “reassigning such space” as the preceding clause in the same sentence mentions IPv4 space specifically).

4.2.3.3: …IPv4 addresses are allocated…

4.2.3.6: …25% of the IPv4 addresses being assigned… and …request for additional IP addresses space…

4.2.3.7: …use of IPv4 address…

4.2.3.7.3.1: …80% of their current IPv4 address space…

4.2.3.8: …IPv4 addresses reassigned by an ISP…

4.3.1: …blocks of IPv4 addresses…

4.3.2.1: …minimum block of IPv4 address space…

4.3.3: …assignment of IPv4 address space…

4.3.4: …qualify for IPv4 address space…

4.3.5: …use private IPv4 address… and …and the private IPv4 address numbers…

4.5: …request new or additional IPv4 address space … and …may not allocate additional IPv4 address space…

And:

8.3, Conditions on recipient, first bullet point: …24-month supply of IPv4 address…

Comments:

Timetable for implementation: Immediate

Anything else: This is a trivial change which improves the clarity of the NRPM and should be quite simple to implement.
