JPNIC Evaluating Procedure for IP Address Assignment
Japan Network Information Center
Superceded on: 22 October 1999
Valid till : 31 December 2000
＊Outline of this document＊
This document is valid from 29 January 2000.
This document shows the conditions under which JPNIC needs to evaluate
the IP address assignment performed by each JPNIC member for
organizations to be connected, and explains the JPNIC evaluation
procedure.
When a JPNIC member needs to make an assignment for the organization
to be connected, for which JPNIC evaluation is necessary, request IP
address assignment evaluation using the following form:
"JPNIC Evaluating Form for IP Address Assignment"
Please note that the name of each item in a form is described in
Japanese and there is no request form in English.

5. Qualifications for making an IP address assignment evaluation request
1. What is an Assignment Window?
JPNIC uses the "Assignment Window" that all RIRs (Regional Internet
Registries) including APNIC has implemented so that JPNIC members can
understand the requirements and responsibilities related to address
assignment.
The Assignment Window represents the maximum size of address space
that JPNIC members can assign to a connected organization without
JPNIC's evaluation.
The size of the Assignment Window is shown by the IP address prefix
length (e.g./25) with the size "0" showing that JPNIC evaluation is
necessary for all assignments.
2. Usage method of Assignment Window
When a JPNIC member is allocated IP address black for the first time,
the size of the Assignment Window given to the member is 0. This means
that the JPNIC member may not assign IP address at all without an
evaluation.
When a JPNIC member assigns an address space bigger than the
Assignment Window, the member must send JPNIC an IP address assignment
evaluation request that includes IP address assignment evaluation
information on the organization to be connected, and must await for a
decision from JPNIC regarding the appropriateness of the assignment.
JPNIC verifies whether the IP address assignment evaluation
information in the request complies with the assignment standard of
the document shown below, and evaluates the contents by making
inquiries to the JPNIC member, etc. if deemed necessary, and approves
the assignment.
"IP Address Assignment Report Process (For User's Network)"
In this process, JPNIC verifies whether the JPNIC member has
sufficient skill and knowledge for proper IP address assignment, and
monitors the pattern of IP address assignment by the JPNIC member at
the same time.
Accordingly, JPNIC determines an Assignment Window size, which will be
appropriate even for independent assignment to the JPNIC member.
As described above, the JPNIC member can increase its knowledge of IP
address assignment by requesting IP address evaluation at the initial
stages, and thus improve its proficiency and carry out many
assignments independently.
However, in principle, assignments to users are made based on a 1-year
forecast, therefore JPNIC may request an explanation if re-assignment
is requested within a very short period.
For example, if it is judged that the proficiency of a JPNIC member
has decreased due to a change of the person in charge, JPNIC may
reduce the size of the Assignment Window in some cases.
3. Update and notification of the size of Assignment Window
Update of the size of an Assignment Window is investigated whenever an
IP address assignment evaluation request is completed, and it is
announced along with the result of the evaluation.
If the member is allocated a new address space, update is also
investigated, and it is announced along with the allocation notice.
4. IP address assignment evaluation request process
4.1 Form, reception contact
When a JPNIC member needs to make an assignment exceeding the size of
their Assignment Window for an organization to be connected, the
member must make a request for IP address assignment evaluation using
the form shown below.
"JPNIC Evaluating Form for IP Address Assignment"
The contact address for requests at JPNIC is shown below. Fill in the
necessary items in the IP Address Assignment Evaluating Request Form
and send it by E-mail to:
judge@ip.nic.ad.jp
4.2 Flow of evaluation at JPNIC
JPNIC will check that the submitted request form:
・Contains no missing descriptions, and
・has sufficient and correct information on the organization to be
connected to ensure appropriate IP address usage.
If any deficiency or unclear points are found, JPNIC will contact the
JPNIC member immediately.
After JPNIC completes any necessary inquiries and judges that the
above two points are complied with, the request is formally accepted
and the applicant is notified. Then, when it has been confirmed that
the JPNIC member has judged the size of the IP address assignment
properly, the evaluation result is reported to the JPNIC member
immediately.
4.3 Procedure after reply of the evaluation result
When JPNIC sends the "assignment OK" notice as a result of the
evaluation, JPNIC informs the JPNIC member of the Evaluation No. The
JPNIC member is requested to copy this Evaluation No. in the IP
Address Assignment Report Form or IP Address Renumber Form, and carry
out each procedure according to the following documents:
"IP Address Assignment Report Process (For User's Network)"
"IP Address Renumbering Application Process(For User's Network)"
That is, receipt of the IP address assignment evaluation result does
not mean that registration in the JPNIC database has been completed
(registration indicates that IP address assignment and IP address
renumbering application have been completed).
5. Qualifications for making an IP address assignment evaluation request
JPNIC accepts a request for an IP address assignment evaluation only
when it is sent from the E-mail address registered in [DB
registration] for the JPNIC member to whom the address block for
assignment is allocated.
