[rpd] Fwd: new policy proposal "Soft Landing - SD"

[Douglas Onyango]

Dear Arnaud,
Thanks alot for the contribution. We need more people like you on the list.
Unfortunately, my reading of your contribution (and I could be wrong),
is that you are raising procedural issues. While these are important,
I don't believe they are pertinent to the policy, in as far as
building support and consensus is concerned.

I would urge the co-chairs to help in creating a separate thread where
process and procedure issues, like the ones you raised, can be
addressed.

Regards,

>> 1. Summary of the problem being addressed by this proposal

>> The current SoftLanding Policy describes how AFRINIC should manage

>> While the stated policy objective is to ensure that

>> that certain provisions in the policy are not consistent with this
>> objective. Specifically, the current Softlanding Policy:
>>
>> a. Allows a maximum allocation size of a /13 in Phase 1. The authors feel
>> this is too large based on average allocation size, and can be abused.
>> b. Allows organizations to request allocations/assignments without

>> organizations, at the expense of the general community, and can also be
>> abused.
>> c. Does not make any specific provisions for new entrants. The authors
>> feel that this might advantage existing organizations at the expense of new
>> entrants.
>>
>> 2. Summary of how this proposal addresses the problem
>>
>> This proposals tries to address these problems by:
>> * Reducing the maximum prefix in phase 1. We arrived at this figure by
>> looking at the average allocation prefix which is between /19 and /18 and
>> then doubling that average allocation.
>> * Disallowing allocation to organisations who have been allocated up to
>> the maximum prefixes during each phase.
>> * Adjusted the maximum prefix for phase 2, to bring it closer to average
>> allocation size
>>
>> 3. Proposal
>>
>> Modify Section 5.4.3.1 of the CPM to the following:
>>
>> Exhaustion Phase 1:
>> During this phase, allocation/assignment of address space will continue as
>> in the Current phase (/24 for a EU and /22 for a LIR) but the maximum will
>> change from /10 to /17.
>>
>> Modify Section 5.4.3.2 of the CPM to the following :
>>
>> Exhaustion Phase 2
>> During this phase a minimum allocation/assignment size will be /24, and
>> the maximum will be /20 per allocation/assignment.
>>
>> Modify section 5.4.4 of the CPM to the following:
>> For any LIR or End User requesting IPv4 address space during the
>> Exhaustion There is no explicit limit on the number of times an organization
>> may request additional IPv4 address space, so long as such organisation has
>> not received allocations/assignments equivalent to the maximum prefix during
>> each phase.
>>
>> 4. Revision History
