prop-085: Eligibility for critical infrastructure assignments from the final /8
| Proposal text | prop-085-v001 |
|---|---|
| Synopsis | This policy proposal seeks to make it possible for critical infrastructure account holders (such as new ccTLDs or gTLDs) to receive portable IPv4 assignments from the final /8 space. In the spirit of the current final /8 policy [1], this proposal still ensures each account holder is only eligible to receive one single allocation OR assignment from the final /8 space. |
| Current status | Abandoned. |

| Status at other RIRs | AfriNIC has a policy proposal, AFPUB-2010-v4-002: IPv4 Soft Landing Proposal under discussion that permits assignments as well as allocations to be made from AfriNIC’s last /8 from IANA.
ARIN has adopted a policy, NRPM section 4.10, Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 Deployment, that will take effect when ARIN receives its final /8 from IANA. This policy permits both assignments and allocations to be made from a reserved /10 block as long as the requester can demonstrate immediate IPv6 deployment requirements. LACNIC has adopted a policy, LACNIC Policy Manual, section 10.1, Special IPv4 Allocations/Assignments Reserved for New Members, that permits critical infrastructure assignments to new members from LACNIC’s final /12. RIPE has a policy proposal, 2010-02: Allocations from the last /8, under discussion that permits allocations to be made from RIPE’s last /8 worth of space, but not assignments. |
