Elvis and all,Sorry for late reply, but I had a chance to talk with some of ARIN AC members and ARIN staff, so let me share their feedbacks.1. It is ARIN staffs' responsibility to show the implications of current ARIN policy and they think current proposed idea on apnic-talk,which removes DN only from Intra-RIR transfer, is not compatible with ARIN transfer policy as it is,since ARIN requires DN for both of Inter and Intra RIR transfer case.2. Even if ARIN staff would think it is compatible, ARIN community may raise a issue that it can be used to milk ARIN's remaining pool.So, adding more restrictions for Intra-RIR transfer of address spaces which were transferred from other RIRs (e.g. DN requirement, 12months restriction)may be helpful to relax their concern.3. ARIN's concern for milking is applicable only before the exhaustion of their remaining pool and it is expected to happenat the end of this year or the beginning of next year. So, we may see different discussion after that.I hope it helps your understanding and discussion.Rgs,Masato YamanishiOn 14/06/04 7:39, "Elvis Velea" <elvis@velea.eu> wrote:Hi Masato,
I was really hoping that someone from ARIN will respond to either my e-mail or yours.
Anyway, while we are waiting for them to respond, I would like to notify the community on the latest developments in the RIPE region.
As mentioned in my previous message, 2012-02 has been withdrawn and Sandra Brown has sent a new policy proposal to the RIPE community, 2014-05. This policy proposal enables Inter-RIR transfers between the RIPE region and the other regions with active Inter-RIR transfer policies (ARIN and APNIC for now).
I already talked to Sandra during the previous RIPE Meeting and discussed the possible ways forward for what is now known as 2014-05. While Sandra is supposed to be our competition :-) I would nevertheless like to acknowledge the great work she has done for 2014-05 and would like to invite her to (maybe) send the same or a very similar policy proposal in the APNIC region as well. If she does not have time for it, I would like to come up with a similar proposal in the APNIC region to be discussed before and during the meeting in Brisbane.
Basically, her proposal is asking the RIPE NCC to create an operational procedure and work with the other RIRs to allow Inter-RIR transfers. (if incoming transfers to the RIPE region from ARIN/APNIC will require need based justification, the RIPE NCC will request it's member/LIR to provide the justification).
As far as I have seen and heard from various people in this community, DN for post-exhaustion has already been removed once and only added because ARIN had it in their policy. If we work on a new policy proposal, maybe we can remove DN for everything else but ARIN incoming IPs (for as long as ARIN will keep DN in their policy) and still be compatible with RIPE and ARIN policies regarding Inter-RIR transfers.
Kind regards,
Elvis

Elvis and All,
Regarding inter-RIR transfer with ARIN, Sec 8.4 of ARIN NRPM says,
8.4. Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified RecipientsInter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the transfer and share reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies.
So, it means APNIC policy should be accepted as "reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies" by ARIN communityto keep Inter-RIR transfer between ARIN and APNIC.

Can somebody participating ARIN discussion actively clarify whether this idea is still reciprocal with ARIN NRPMwhich requires demonstrated needs for both of Intra-RIR transfer and Inter-RIR transfer?

_______________________________________________ apnic-talk mailing list apnic-talk@lists.apnic.net http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/apnic-talkHi everyone,
I agree with Skeeve that we should start a discussion about Demonstrated Need (DN).
let me try and make a summary of current changes to transfers policies:
A. RIPE region
currently the RIPE region does no longer have a DN for Intra-RIR transfers. Policy proposal 2013-03 has cleanup the IPv4 policy and removed the DN for anything except the request of the last /22 from the RIPE NCC.
Additionally, the Inter-RIR policy proposal 2012-02 will be withdrawn and a new policy proposal will be made shortly, as announced during RIPE68. [1]
The new policy proposal will be made soon and it will say that:
- for transfers to other RIRs:
"When internet resources are transferred to another RIR, then RIPE NCC will work with the destination RIR to allow the transfer to the receiving LIR."
- for transfers into the RIPE region:
"RIPE NCC will work with its member LIR to fulfill any requirements of the sending RIR"
In other words, the transfer into the RIPE region will have DN only if the sending RIR will have such a policy. There will be no DN requirement for transfers from the RIPE region. However, the receiving RIR will need to approve based on it's policies.
B. ARIN region
There is, indeed, policy proposal 2014-14 (removal of DN for any transfers smaller than /16 per year). but I have not seen any discussion on it. If this policy proposal is approved (and that is a big if) I think that 8.4 in the ARIN NRPM could be interpreted as: /16 or lower per year can be done without DN. However, I hope that an ARIN representative may clarify.
C. APNIC region
APNIC had no DN policy when it reached the last /8 but it has been added back just because ARIN required it.
Considering the latest developments, I would actually like to work on proposing a policy change in APNIC before APNIC38.
The policy proposal would remove DN for transfers between APNIC members. Basically, no DN for Intra-RIR transfers and DN verified by the receiving RIR if they have it in policy.
It would also permit transfers from ARIN or RIPE NCC to APNIC (keeping the DN in policy only if the sending RIR still has such a policy).
What would the community think of such idea/policy proposal?
Kind regards,
Elvis

Thanks for that Adam. So there we go... We decided that we didn't need DN for transfers (prop-50). Then we decided that we needed it again (prop-96) so that ARIN would play with us.

After this time there is no requirement for any form of evaluation of requirements for eligibility. -- Also of note is that the ARIN AC recently accepted "ARIN-prop-204 Removing Needs Test from Small IPv4 Transfers" as a Draft Policy. <http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2014-May/028486.html>. As Bill rightly notes, this is a very early stage in the ARIN PDP. The status page for the proposal is https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_14.html This proposal would change the DN for ARIN recipients only. ARIN’s policy on Inter-RIR transfers may be found here <https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight4> It states that "Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the transfer and share reciprocal, compatible, needs-based policies.” Currently the conditions on the recipient of a transfer are: "The conditions on a recipient outside of the ARIN region will be defined by the policies of the receiving RIR.” So my understanding is that while APNIC is (of course) free to change it’s transfers DN at any time, the ARIN Secretariat must be satisfied APNIC has a “compatible, needs-based” policy, or it would not be able to authorise the transfer.

Introduction ---------------- This is a proposal to maintain the requirement for recipients of IPv4 transfers to justify their need for address space beyond the current allocation phase and into the final /8 phase. 2. Summary of the current problem ---------------------------------- The current APNIC transfer policy removes the requirement to demonstrate a need for transferred IPv4 addresses after the final /8 phase begins. However, this removal of justification of need once APNIC enters the final /8 phase will make APNIC the only RIR that does not require a demonstrated need to be shown for an IPv4 transfer to be approved. If an inter-RIR transfer policy, such as prop-095, were to be approved, given that any transfers would be conducted according to the transfer policy of the source RIR, it would disadvantage APNIC if other RIRs were to be able to transfer IPv4 addresses from APNIC without requiring any justification. Contrast this with transfers where APNIC is the recipient of the transfer, and must follow the transfer policy of the source RIR. Since all other RIRs require justification in transfers, it would be more difficult to have transfers of addresses into the APNIC region than it would for addresses to be transferred out of the APNIC region. In addition, having no justification requirement in the final /8 phase is raising concerns in some RIR regions and making them reluctant to recognize any inter-RIR transfer policy with APNIC. Therefore, it is possible that even if APNIC were to adopt prop-095, no other RIR may be willing to engage in such inter-RIR transfers with APNIC.

We know this because the community already removed the requirement for DN for IPv4 addresses post exhaustion once, and then quickly had to put it back in because we stood to miss out on ARIN transfers. So to my mind the community has already spoken and this is what it has said: "We don't want/care about DN for post exhaustion IPv4 addresses. We've already voted to remove it once. We *DO* care about transfers from ARIN, so we put DN back. Thats the only reason we have DN." So here you go community... am I wrong with that statement?
