An update on policy changes that are no longer under discussion, because they have been adopted by the ARIN Board and implemented by ARIN staff. While these policies will not be discussed at ARIN XXIX, they are important to understand for two reasons. First, they have altered the ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) which may affect your next interaction with ARIN. Second, they provide some background and history on the current policy debates. You may be able to glean a sense of where the ARIN community’s focus is (or at least has most recently been) by understanding the policy changes which have made it through to adoption following the previous PPM.
One of my resolutions for 2012 is to write more. Specifically to post here on dp at least once a week, on average. In order to meet my goal of a post a week, I have to branch out into new topics – probably exposing a little more of my self in the process. I’m good with that and I hope you are too.
2011 was a fascinating year for me: I changed jobs, got divorced and fell in love (twice). I moved from the suburbs to the city and started riding to work. I was interviewed by Juniper, took 16 trips to 13 different cities, joined TheHundred Denver, and was kicked out of Canada. I started speaking more, working less, and spending more time with my kids. I published my second book, co-authored my first Internet-Draft, filed my first patent application, and re-discovered my spirituality. Oh, and I turned 30…
Since I’m starting to speak more publicly and more often, I thought I’d throw out a schedule so that folks will know where I’ll be. So, to kick that off, here is my next 3 months of speaking engagements: LACNIC XVI / LACNOG 2011 / Internet ON 3 to 7 October 2011 Buenos Aires, Argentina [...]
Not overly surprisingly, APNIC officially received two more IPv4 /8 (“slash eights”) from the IANA today: Hi, The IANA IPv4 registry has been updated to reflect the allocation of two IPv4 /8 blocks to APNIC in January 2011: 39/8 and 106/8. 39/8 APNIC 2011-01 whois.apnic.net ALLOCATED 106/8 APNIC 2011-01 whois.apnic.net ALLOCATED [...]
I’ve been thinking recently about how and where I share information and particularly how many of those applications and websites share with each other. There are of course a huge number of websites and applications on the Internet today that deal with user generated content. I participate in a decent amount of them myself. Some [...]
There are folks who have, in the past, cried wolf with regard to IPv4 free pool depletion and the need for IPv6 adoption. Different people had different reasons for doing so and some were likely ulterior. Since then, all of the reputable folks focusing on IPv6 deployment have removed these alarmists and distanced themselves from [...]
Here we go again! As what might be my last act as a “regular” member of the ARIN community, I have decided to launch a discussion petition of ARIN-prop-125, Efficient Utilization of IPv4 Requires Dual-Stack.
In the second half of 2010 the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) started sending emails to all Points Of Contact (POCs) registered in the ARIN Whois database. Since then, I have been seeing more and more chatter about these emails – including increased traffic here on my blog. Because I am at least partially [...]
