Kim Hubbard stated that with the removal of the filters, ARIN would more than likely receive more requests for address space. More customers receiving addresses directly from ARIN may increase the size of the routing tables. A recommendation that ARIN impose a formal program to collect routing table data and archive the information was made by Michael Dillon and seconded by Karl Denninger. Those in favor were Hilarie Orman, Karl Denninger, and Michael Dillon. As the remaining AC members were opposed, the motion failed to carry.
Some members favor restricting such allocations to multihomed entities.
Kim Hubbard informed the AC that an IETF Working Group wants ARIN to begin issuing IPv6 addresses by the beginning of 1999. It was agreed that Kim Hubbard would keep the AC posted on any future developments regarding IPv6. At the first ARIN members meeting, some members raised the issue of ARIN starting a routing registry. ARIN staff have also been approached by other organizations recently requesting this. Kim Hubbard presented the projected impact on ARIN's budget which was reviewed and discussed.
