Formed by the Regional Internet Registries to
formalise their cooperative efforts, the NRO
exists to protect the unallocated Number

How is Internet Number Resource Policy Made?

Why Manage IP Address Space?
Address Space Constraints Require Good Stewardship

• Technical Requirements
• Defined Characteristics Create a Finite Common
  Resource
• Network Topology Realities
• Prevent Capricious Consumption
• Ensure Fair Distribution and Equitable Access to
  All

Overview

• What is the proposed policy?
• Is it fair?
• What is the history of this policy?
• What is the current status?

32
What is the Proposed Policy?
Upon policy inception, each RIR receives a /12
if it has lt /12 on hand.
33
Is It Fair?

• YES!
• Minimum Allocation Size
• Not Dependent on Regional Market Size
• Contributes to Regional Aggregation
• Best Conserves Address Space
• Allocation Criteria
• Provides Objectivity
• Satisfies Demonstrated Needs
• Provides Accountability
