The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) has classified "ARIN-prop-283: Clarify
Holdings Restriction for Section 4.1.8 Waitlist Entries" as an Editorial
Change to the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM).
The text is below and can be found at:
https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/drafts/ARIN_edit_2020_1/
The process for editorial updates to the NRPM is found in Part One,
Section 3.1, paragraph 3 of the PDP:
"Changes to policy that are purely editorial and non-substantial in
nature are outside the scope of the full Policy Development Process and
may only be made with 30 days public notice followed by the concurrence
of both the ARIN Advisory Council and ARIN Board of Trustees that the
changes are non-substantial in nature."
Your feedback on this Editorial Change is encouraged. The review period
will close on 26 March 2020.

Editorial Change ARIN-edit-2020-1: Clarify Holdings Restriction for
Section 4.1.8 Wait List Entries
Problem Statement:
A recent Policy Experience report pointed to ambiguity among waitlist
applicants as to whether the /20 limit on existing space restriction
applies to organizations holding a single /20 block, or an aggregate
/20’s worth of IPv4 space. An editorial change to NRPM section 4.1.8
aims to remove this ambiguity, clarifying that an organization must hold
a /20 or less in aggregate.
Policy statement:
Update NRPM Section 4.1.8 as follows:
Original Text:
“Only organizations holding a /20 or less of IPv4 address space may
apply and be approved. “
Updated Text:
"Only organizations which hold less than a /20 equivalent of IPv4 space
in aggregate are eligible to apply..”
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
