Dear Community Members,

This email presents a status update of policy proposals in the ARIN region following the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) meeting on Monday, April 27 2015.

Two proposals moved to Last Call: --------------------------------

- Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2014-6: Remove Operational Reverse DNS Text

This proposal removes the policy requirement for some LIRs to maintain rDNS for their downstream or delegate that responsibility to them. https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_6.html

- Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2014-21: Modification to CI Pool Size per Section 4.4

This policy aims to change a section of the existing NRPM policy to double the number of IPv4 addresses reserved for Critical Infrastructure from a /16 equivalent to a /15 equivalent. https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_21.html

Three proposals were abandoned: ------------------------------

- Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2014-1: Out of Region Use

This proposal aimed to clarify the policy ambiguity surrounding out-of-regional use by trans-regional organizations legally located in the ARIN region. ARIN AC members are currently working to craft a new proposal. https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_1.html

- Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2014-14: Needs Attestation for some IPv4 Transfers

This proposal would have removed the requirement to demonstrate need on resource transfers of a /16 or less. The AC abandoned the proposal due to a lack of support. https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_14.html

- Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2014-22: Removal of Minimum in Section 4.10

This proposal would have changed to modify existing policy 'NRPM 4.10 Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 deployment'. The current policy sets the minimum allocation size as /28 to a maximum of /24. This proposal changes the allocation size to simply be a /24 with no maximum or minimum. https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2014_22.html

The ARIN AC continues to work on one draft policy: -------------------------------------------------

- Draft Policy ARIN-2015-1: Modification to Criteria for IPv6 Initial End-User Assignments https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2015_1.html
