NANOGers - The following process change is being proposed in order to simplify customer request tickers for new number resources and improve overall service. If you have strong feelings one way or the other, thenplease join the arin-consult list and make them known. (Note - the arin-consult mailing list is open to all in accordance with ARIN’s Mailing List AUP and Standards of Behavior.) Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info(a)arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on Retiring the Officer Attestation Requirement Date: 3 August 2021 at 8:13:53 AM EDT To: <arin-consult(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-consult@arin.net>> ARIN regularly reviews existing processes as part of our continual improvement efforts to be more responsive and improve the service our customers receive from ARIN. Recently ARIN reviewed the Officer Attestation process and as a result of that review have determined the Officer Attestation process is no longer necessary for achievement of its original goals and should be retired. The purpose of this consultation is to review this proposed change with the community prior to its implementation. The Officer Attestation was introduced in 2007 in preparation for the depletion of IPv4 addresses. Currently, ARIN requires an Officer Attestation for all requests that involve a needs analysis (which today consist of waiting list requests, NRPM 4.4 micro-allocations, NRPM 4.10 IPv6 transition, IPv6 requests, and transfer recipient requests.) However, conditions have changed since this requirement was established, and ARIN believes that the Officer Attestation for resource request tickets is no longer necessary for the following reasons: - Today IPv4 resources are issued by ARIN predominantly via the Waitlist policy, and this policy has been revised to only allow one small request per party (thus avoiding the original risk of “hoarding” via large suspect requests prior to runout). - With regard to transfers of IPv4 resources obtained via the transfer market, the inherent costs for large transfers ensures organizational officers are “in the know”. - Given IPv6 availability, officer attestation of need for IPv6 resources is not necessary. The review identified that at this point in time the Officer Attestation process is problematic for many customers, predominantly posing an administrative burden that does not materially improve policy implementation and resulting in numerous complaints and adding unnecessary delay (varying between two days and an entire week) to completion of resource request tickets. In light of the administrative burden to customers and undefined benefit, ARIN proposes dropping the Officer Attestation requirement – note that this specifically does not change documentation requirements related organization recovery of IP number resources or related anti-fraud measures that ARIN has implemented. This consultation will remain open for 10 days. Please provide comments to arin-consult(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-consult@arin.net>.

Is there anyone on the list that's from an ISP that's participating in the ACAM or ACAM II programs? If so, I'd like to ask a couple of questions (off-list) specifically about the speed testing requirements. Thanks Shawn

IANA 6to4 assignment status
by Lars Prehn 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Hi, Is there a reason why the status of 2002::/16 in IANA's IPv6 unicast assignments list [1] is ALLOCATED (with '6to4' as designation and the note field indicating reservation) rather than RESERVED? Best regards, Lars [1] https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments/ipv6-unic…

Anycast but for egress
by Vimal 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

(Unsure if this is the right forum to ask this question, but here goes:) >From what I understand, IP Anycast can be used to steer traffic into a server that's close to the client. I am curious if anyone here has/encountered a setup where they use anycast IP on their gateways... to have a predictable egress IP for their traffic, regardless of where they are located? For example, a search engine crawler could in principle have the same IP advertised all over the world, but it looks like they don't... I wonder why? -- Vimal
