1. IP Address Renumbering
Since IP address is the limited and shared resource of the Internet,
addresses returned by means of renumbering applications are
re-assigned to make effective use of the resource. JPNIC members are
asked to cooperate with address renumbering.
The address return procedure described in this document is for IP
addresses assigned by JPNIC, JNIC and the Network Address Adjustment
Committee.
The applicant may return address not only contained in its own
allocated space but also assigned by JPNIC or other JPNIC Members.
When address assigned by another JPNIC member are included in the
returned address, JPNIC will send mail to this member's [Technical
Contact] registered in the membership information. Finding any
problem with the mailed information, the concerned JPNIC Member shall
immediately contact JPNIC.

When there are addresses assigned by another JPNIC Member, necessary
arrangements shall be made between the parties concerned prior to the
submission of a renumbering application.
2. Application Contact
Fill out the "IP Address Renumbering Application Form (for JPNIC
Member's Network)" to apply for IP address renumbering. Send in the
Application Form by e-mail or "snail" mail. JPNIC does not accept FAX
applications. E-mail the form as much as possible.

3. Handling of the application
A period from the acceptance of the application to the return date
noted in the application is considered as the transition/hold period.
When the return date comes, JPNIC will delete information about the
returned address from the JPNIC database and cancels the assignments.
Be careful that JPNIC will not accept application forms with missing
or inappropriate entries.
When false description or any other falsehood is found in the
application, JPNIC will consider it invalid.
4. Application Process
The following describes the renumbering application process to be
followed by JPNIC Members.
1) Check the address to be returned.
Check the information of IP address to be returned.
2) Estimate IP addresses.
- Estimate the actually needed IP address space according to the assignment
criteria.
3) Assign IP address.
- Assign IP address (space) based on the estimation.
4) Apply to JPNIC for renumbering.
- Apply to JPNIC for renumbering and register information in the database.
5) Check information registered in the JPNIC database.
6) Pay the fee.

4.1 Check the address to be returned.
Check if the address the JPNIC Member is going to return are valid,
referring to "4.5 Check information registered in the JPNIC database".
4.2 Estimate IP address.

Member's own network, according to the standard specified in the
following document:
"IP Address Assignment Report Process (for JPNIC Member's Network)"
4.3 Assign IP Address.
Assign IP address (space) estimated in [4.2 Estimate IP address] from
the address space delegated to the JPNIC Member for its own network.
IP Address assignments to JPNIC Members' networks are not subject to
JPNIC evaluation. JPNIC carefully investigates assignment conditions
when JPNIC Members apply for address space allocation.
If any question arises as the result of careful investigations of past
assignments, JPNIC may send inquiries to the concerned JPNIC Member.
4.4 Apply to JPNIC for renumbering.
When advertising IP address renumbered for JPNIC Member's own network,
be sure to apply to JPNIC for renumbering.
The renumbering process is considered "complete" when the JPNIC
database is changed to reflect address returns and new assignments.
If JPNIC finds trouble with IP address assignment upon receiving the
renumbering application, JPNIC may stop the renumbering of the IP
address.
JPNIC will disclose renumbering application information.
Use the following form to apply to JPNIC for renumbering:
"IP Address Renumbering Application Form (for JPNIC Member's Network)"
When the application is made as the result of evaluation, be sure to
note the evaluation No. on the application form.
JPNIC accepts only the renumbering applications that are sent from
mail addresses previously registered in [DB 登録] of the JPNIC
membership information.

enlargement.
