Draft Policy ARIN-20118
Combined M&A and Specified Transfers
Date/version: 26 July 2011
Policy statement:
To section 8.2 change “… ARIN will work with the resource holder(s) to return, aggregate, or reclaim resources as appropriate via the processes outlined in current ARIN policy (for example, sections 4.6, 4.7, or 12 of the NRPM).” to “…ARIN will work with the resource holder(s) to return, aggregate, transfer, or reclaim resources as needed to restore compliance via the processes outlined in current ARIN policy.”
Rationale:
Given that both M&A transfers and specified transfers are possible, it should be possible to execute a combined transfer in which unneeded resources are transferred via 8.3 (rather than returning unneeded resources to the free pool) and the rest are transferred via 8.2. Doing this in the wrong order (i.e., attempting to execute the 8.2 transfer first) should not penalize the transferring entity… especially as ARIN’s opinion as to what is “no longer justified under ARIN policy” is best known by ARIN and may not be completely knowable by the transferring entity. Note that as there is no ARIN policy permitting IPv6 specified transfers, this policy would only affect IPv4 resources at this time.
Timetable for implementation: immediate
