Summary

This proposal solves cases where text appears in the sections on IPv4 or IPv6, yet clearly apply to all resources.

This proposal solves cases where a text appears in the sections on IPv4 or IPv6 sections, yet clearly applyies to all resources.

It separates the definitions from the general rules that apply to various resources or procedures.

Rationale (Describe the problem you intend to solve)

The section on IPv4 includes several subsections that apply equally to IPv4, IPv6, and even ASN resources, so the reasonable thing to do would be to move these texts to Section 1, Definitions. The same can be said about the section on IPv6.

The section on IPv4 includes several subsections that clearly apply equally to IPv4, IPv6, and even ASN resources,. The same can be said about the section on IPv6. It is therefore reasonable to move thingese texts to doa new Section 1 (General Ruldes) bwhich includes tohe movgeneral rules thesat are in thexts currento Section 1, (Definitions), renumbering the rest of the definitions as Section 0.

The se are minor editorial chan bges saind abnout inthended secto modiofy any operational IPv6aspects.

Current text

1. Definitions

2.3.2.5 Documentation

Internet Registries shall use the IPv4 addresses they have been allocated in an efficient manner. To this end, the IRs shall document the justification for each IPv4 address assignment. At the request of LACNIC, the corresponding IR shall make this information available. LACNIC shall not make complementary allocations to those Internet Registries that have not properly documented the use of the blocks they have already been allocated. In these cases, existing allocations may also be reviewed.

The documentation LACNIC may request includes:
• Engineering plans.
• Subnetting and aggregation plan.
• Description of network topology.
• Description of network routing plans.
• Receipts documenting investments (equipment).
• Other relevant documents.

2.3.2.13.2 Geolocation

In addition to the information available in the WHOIS database, the assignments made by LACNIC and the sub-assignments made by its members will be published in a file along with information on the country in which the prefix was assigned. This file will be available for the community to download freely. Among other uses, this file may be used to geolocate an IP address.

The file format and the place where it will be published will be defined by the LACNIC staff

2.3.2.14. - Security and Confidentiality

LACNIC shall maintain systems and practices that safeguard and protect the confidentiality of all the information entrusted to LACNIC in the documentation submitted to justify the allocation or assignment of IPv4 addresses.

2.3.2.15. - Equal Processing of All Applications

LACNIC shall process every application strictly in the order in which they are received, regardless of geographical factors, demographic factors, language, etc. Under no circumstance shall LACNIC grant special treatment or make exceptions to the norm established for the processing of applications. For this purpose, LACNIC shall use an application numbering system that will allow their proper administration.

1.11 Non-Guaranteed Routability

Neither LACNIC nor the NIRs will guarantee the routability of allocated or assigned addresses.

Resource recipients are responsible for negotiating such routability with their connectivity providers. LACNIC shall provide the corresponding guidance when necessary.

However, allocated or assigned resources must be announced within a maximum of 90 days, except in those cases where the need not to announce the resources is justified.

RIRs must apply operational procedures that reduce the possibility of fragmentation of the address space to minimize the risk of loss of routability.

4.4.2 Non-Guaranteed Routability

There is no guarantee that any address allocation or assignment will be globally routable.
However, RIRs must apply procedures that reduce the possibility of fragmented address space which may lead to a loss of routability.
