Draft Policy 2025-7: Make Policy in 6.5.8.2 Match the Examples Problem Statement: 6.5.8.2 states “An organization qualifies for an assignment on the next larger nibble boundary when their sites exceed 75% of the /48s available in a prefix.“and then follows with “For example: More than 1 but less than or equal to 12 sites justified, receives a /44 assignment;“implying that a single site should only receive a /48. However, 1 /48 exceeds 75% of the /48s available in a /48 (1), so per the rule an organization with a single site should receive a /44, which differs from the example. Policy Statement: Change the sentence "The initial assignment size will be determined by the number of sites justified below." To: "Larger initial assignment sizes will be determined by the number of sites justified below." Resulting with: Organizations that meet at least one of the initial assignment criteria above are eligible to receive an initial assignment of /48. Larger initial assignment sizes will be determined by the number of sites justified below; an organization qualifies for an assignment on the next larger nibble boundary when their sites exceed 75% of the /48s available in a prefix. For example: * More than 1 but less than or equal to 12 sites justified, receives a /44 assignment; * More than 12 but less than or equal to 192 sites justified, receives a /40 assignment; * More than 192 but less than or equal to 3,072 sites justified, receives a /36 assignment; * More than 3,072 but less than or equal to 49,152 sites justified, receives a /32 assignment; etc… Comments: Based on community feedback, the policy structure was reworked to state that a single-site organization receives a /48, and then the 75% formula applies to multi-site organizations, rather than framing the /48 as an exception. Timetable for Implementation: Immediate. _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
