Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments

Problem Statement:

When the policy was drafted, the concept of assignments/sub-assignments
did not consider the use of IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP
addresses by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and
many other similar cases.

Additionally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a unique IPv6
/64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273) instead of a unique address.
This, for example, allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64
such that they are "isolated" from other users (for reasons of security,
regulatory requirements, etc.) and they can also use multiple virtual
machines on their devices with a unique address for each one (within the
same /64).

Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign), explicitly prohibits such
assignments, stating that "Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to
other parties".

This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define
the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by
means of additional language added to the definition of an Assignment.

Note that the proposal text also incorporates changes made under an
Editorial Change currently awaiting Board of Trustees review, available
here: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html

Policy Statement:

Actual Text, Section 2.5:

• Assign - To assign means to delegate address space to an ISP or
end-user, for specific use within the Internet infrastructure they
operate. Assignments must only be made for specific purposes documented
by specific organizations and are not to be sub-assigned to other parties.

New Text:

• Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by
ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. A temporary
assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be
considered an assignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.

Comments

Timetable for implementation:

Immediate

Anything else:

Situation in other regions:

This situation, has already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was
updated in a similar way, even if right now there is a small discrepancy
between the policy text that reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact
Analysis. A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend that, and
the text is the same as presented by this proposal at ARIN. Same text
has also been submitted to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC.

Because of recent changes, editorial if I remember correctly, section 2.5
now reads as;

2.5. Allocation, Assignment, Reallocation, Reassignment

Allocation - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN
for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to
other parties.

Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN
for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.

Reallocation - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an
upstream provider for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the
recipient organization to other parties.

Reassignment - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an
upstream provider for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.


This proposal essentially adds the following sentence to "Assignment" above.

A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not
be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.


However, I propose the following minor change to that;

A temporary reassignment of address space provided to third parties shall
not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use
criterion.


Further, the sentence should also apply to "Reassignment". So, does the
sentence also need to be added to "Reassignment"? Or maybe add the
following sentence to "Reassignment";

Excluding temporary reassignments, as discussed in the definition Assignment
above.


Thanks

Thank you for breaking out the definitions. I support your minor change and agree that the sentence, “A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.” should be added to both Assignment and Reassignment.

Yes, moving the sentence to the end of the section is probably even a
better solution.

However, looking at the sentence a little more closely. Using reassignment,
or assignment for that matter, twice in the same sentence sounds a little
circular or possibly self-contradictory to me. Also, incidental seems like
a good additional word for describing what we mean in this situation.

in·ci·den·tal
1. accompanying but not a major part of something.
· occurring by chance in connection with something else.
2. liable to happen as a consequence of (an activity).

tem·po·rar·y
1.
lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent.

The point is even a permanent but incidental use should not be considered a
reassignment.

So, how about;

Note that the incidental or temporary use of address space by third parties
shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use
criterion.


Thanks.

Unless I’m missing anything (in other regions we have “sub-assignment”), I
think it works for me.
May be a way to shorten it is to use the proposed sentence, but after all
2.5. Allocation, Assignment, Reallocation, Reassignment
Allocation - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN
for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to
other parties.
Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN

Reallocation - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an

Because of recent changes, editorial if I remember correctly, section 2.5 now reads as;
2.5. Allocation, Assignment, Reallocation, Reassignment
Allocation - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other parties.
Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.

Reassignment - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an upstream provider for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.
This proposal essentially adds the following sentence to "Assignment" above.
A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
However, I propose the following minor change to that;
A temporary reassignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
Further, the sentence should also apply to "Reassignment". So, does the sentence also need to be added to "Reassignment"? Or maybe add the following sentence to "Reassignment";
Excluding temporary reassignments, as discussed in the definition Assignment above.

Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments
When the policy was drafted, the concept of assignments/sub-assignments did not consider the use of IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP addresses by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and many other similar cases.
Additionally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a unique IPv6 /64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273) instead of a unique address. This, for example, allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64 such that they are "isolated" from other users (for reasons of security, regulatory requirements, etc.) and they can also use multiple virtual machines on their devices with a unique address for each one (within the same /64).
Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign), explicitly prohibits such assignments, stating that "Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to other parties".
This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by means of additional language added to the definition of an Assignment.
Note that the proposal text also incorporates changes made under an Editorial Change currently awaiting Board of Trustees review, available here: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html <https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html>
• Assign - To assign means to delegate address space to an ISP or end-user, for specific use within the Internet infrastructure they operate. Assignments must only be made for specific purposes documented by specific organizations and are not to be sub-assigned to other parties.
• Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered an assignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.

This situation, has already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was updated in a similar way, even if right now there is a small discrepancy between the policy text that reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact Analysis. A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend that, and the text is the same as presented by this proposal at ARIN. Same text has also been submitted to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC.

I also have no problem with the Clarification.

I also note that in 2017-5, the registration requirements for IPv6 was
changed to more than a /48. Thus, unless someone is handing out BYOD or
public use IPv6 address blocks larger than this, or with unique routing
applied, that act should never trigger a registration requirement. I
asked for this change because of issues in obtaining static IPv6 address
space for use in public transit busses since they no longer offered static
IPv4 due to shortage of address space. The mobile provider insisted that
the ARIN policy at the time required SWIP registration of /64 or more of
space. They were insisting on registration of each bus, complete with a
unique "Street Address" for each one. Now that 2017-5 has been adopted, I
no longer have any issue with the State contract wireless provider, and I
can SWIP them all to the main office IT department.

The issue being addressed here is a NEW problem that did not exist in most
networks running IPv4. This is because in most cases, addresses assigned
by DHCP or otherwise in the IPv4 enviroment were not ARIN assigned
addresses, but were instead NAT addresses assigned from RFP1918 space and
not subject to the restrictions contained in the NRPM since only the NAT
device had a public IP address subject to ARIN rules, and this device was
under the control of the network owner. Very few networks actually handed
out actual public IPv4 addresses, and those who did were also technically
in violation of ARIN rules.

In IPv6, NAT is not normally used, and addresses assigned for both BYOD
and public use are in fact public IP addresses which are part of address
space regulated by ARIN. Technically under the current NRPM, this
assignment of address space issued under ARIN for BYOD or public use
(wifi) networks is not permitted without these changes. This would
include both DHCP assigned or even SLAAC assigned addresses. This is why
we need to change the NRPM to make clear that this current routine
practice in networks with IPv6 is proper.

I think the key here is that making the policy more clear is an improvement.

This is almost equally a problem in IPv4 and IPv6. It really doesn’t differ.

The main reason nobody really noticed it in IPv4 is because we avoided the more nonsensical pedantic application of the policy and went with the obvious intent.

Having the policy more clearly express that intent is a fine idea and that’s the main reason to move forward with this change.

Owen
Exactly, that was one of the main reason for me to submit this proposal in all the RIRs, no NOT, means that something that was often happening in IPv4, will happen with every end-user assignment in IPv6, because most of them provide some kind of access to employees, visitors, etc.

Because of recent changes, editorial if I remember correctly, section 2.5 now reads as;
2.5. Allocation, Assignment, Reallocation, Reassignment
Allocation - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other parties.
Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.
Reallocation - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an upstream provider for the purpose of subsequent distribution by the recipient organization to other parties.
Reassignment - Address space sub-delegated to an organization by an upstream provider for the exclusive use of the recipient organization.
This proposal essentially adds the following sentence to "Assignment" above.
A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
However, I propose the following minor change to that;
A temporary reassignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered a reassignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
Here’s the problem
. You’re now saying “A temporary reassignment isn’t a reassignment”.

I realize that makes the language more consistent with our definitions, but it really doesn’t parse well.

I propose instead, that we say what we mean and avoid this problem altogether:

Temporary use of address space by third parties with the permission of the registrant shall not be considered a reassignment
or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
Post by WOOD Alison * DAS
Further, the sentence should also apply to "Reassignment". So, does the sentence also need to be added to "Reassignment"? Or maybe add the following sentence to "Reassignment";
Excluding temporary reassignments, as discussed in the definition Assignment above.
I’m not sure why we would need such a thing for reassignments from allocations. Since those are allowed, there’s really no benefit to failing to report them if reporting requirements would apply. If not, it’s just a no-op that adds confusion rather than removing it, IMHO.

Draft Policy ARIN-2018-4: Clarification on Temporary Sub-Assignments
When the policy was drafted, the concept of assignments/sub-assignments did not consider the use of IP addresses in hotspots, or the use of IP addresses by guests or employees in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and many other similar cases.
Additionally, the IETF has recently approved the use of a unique IPv6 /64 prefix per interface/host (RFC8273) instead of a unique address. This, for example, allows users to connect to a hotspot, receive a /64 such that they are "isolated" from other users (for reasons of security, regulatory requirements, etc.) and they can also use multiple virtual machines on their devices with a unique address for each one (within the same /64).
Section 2.5 (Definitions/Allocate and Assign), explicitly prohibits such assignments, stating that "Assignments... are not to be sub-assigned to other parties".
This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC8273), by means of additional language added to the definition of an Assignment.
Note that the proposal text also incorporates changes made under an Editorial Change currently awaiting Board of Trustees review, available here: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html <https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2017_11.html>
• Assign - To assign means to delegate address space to an ISP or end-user, for specific use within the Internet infrastructure they operate. Assignments must only be made for specific purposes documented by specific organizations and are not to be sub-assigned to other parties.
• Assignment - Address space delegated to an organization directly by ARIN for the exclusive use of the recipient organization. A temporary assignment of address space provided to third parties shall not be considered an assignment or a violation of the exclusive use criterion.
Comments
Immediate
This situation, has already been corrected in RIPE, and the policy was updated in a similar way, even if right now there is a small discrepancy between the policy text that reached consensus and the RIPE NCC Impact Analysis. A new policy proposal has been submitted to amend that, and the text is the same as presented by this proposal at ARIN. Same text has also been submitted to AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC.
