Considerations
Systematic response to Experimental Requirements
Use of RIR Considerations section in Experimental RFCs
Stable basis for future deployment experimentation
Acceptance of this proposal means that the assignment of temporary or experimental Numbering Resources is taken care of by the RIRs, rather than on a more ad hoc or unclear basis as it is at the moment.
It would be helpful to the RIRs is, in conjunction with adoption of this policy, future experimental RFCs include an RIR Considerations section describing the resources required for the experiment, and in full consultation with the RIRs, detailing which resources will be used, if applicable, as well as the anticipated timeframe of the experiment.
A clearly documented policy framework for obtaining Numbering Resources to be used for experimental purposes, with inexpensive cost-recovery based allocations, will ensure a stable and known entry point through the RIRs for future organisations and future developments in the Internet.
