Arin 2003-3 was a (less detailed) attempt to do the same thing http://www.arin.net/policy/2002_3.html I suspect that a suitable combination of all of these proposals would have a good chance of getting through. Regards Marshall Eubanks On Tuesday, December 10, 2002, at 04:52 PM, Forrest wrote:
Now, however, that ARIN is discussing proposals such as 2002-5, 2002-6 and 2002-7 (with 2002-5 & 2002-6 most likely being passed within few months) ARIN maybe put in position of assigning smaller then /20 blocks and that is why I suggested on ARIN ppml mailing list that current micro-allocation wording about assiging small blocks from specifically designated larger blocks be made a separate policy that would apply to all small allocations & asignments being made directly by ARIN. If you think its a good idea to make this a policy, please do send your feedback to ARIN or bring it up on ppml mailing list and then ARIN can work on this futher to make it a policy.
Proposal 2002-7 is exactly what is needed in my opinion. I wish I'd seen it before I posted here earlier, since it basically identifies every problem I mentioned.
