From memsvcs at arin.net Fri Jan 5 16:17:59 2001 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 16:17:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: Change in ARIN IPv6 Fee Policy Message-ID: In response to the desire of ARIN's members expressed at the October 2000 ARIN Public Policy and Members Meetings, the Board of Trustees, with recommendation from the Advisory Council, agreed that ARIN will no longer collect fees for IPv6 allocations made to current ARIN IPv4 subscribers. This move will be effective January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002, or until the Board determines that the termination date should be modified. ARIN will refund all IPv6 subscription fees that were collected from ARIN IPv4 subscription holders prior to December 31, 2000. The ARIN Business Office will contact the companies involved for instructions on whether to refund the fee or issue a credit.

Good morning folks. This is to remind you that ARIN is still holding out on accepting the IAB/IESG recommendations for inital IPv6 delegation/allocation sizes. There was some lively discussion at the last mtg but the concerns generally came down to... "this makes me nervous and I don't understand it all to well." Yes, there are operational concerns but quite frankly, the number of people in the ARIN region that are able/willing to explore IPv6 seems to be either very small, not willing to share experiences, or are happy with the 6bone delegations. ARIN has pretty much removed the barriers to entry with the zero-cost delegation policy in place. Unless a viable counter proposal or modification to the existing IAB/IESG proposal that has been accepted by RIPE and APNIC, I'm going to recommend to the ARIN council that silence is consent and ARIN should adopt the IAB/IESG proposal for a /48 being the default delegation size, subject to review, based on operational experience. --bill From memsvcs at arin.net Tue Jan 30 11:53:04 2001 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 11:53:04 -0500 (EST) Subject: ARIN Member Services Department Message-ID: Hello, ARIN has recently formed a Member Services Department (MSD) to better meet your needs. In addition to continuing its membership coordination and meeting planning tasks, based upon member input the department will work in several areas. The MSD is ready to develop training and education programs, create new website documents, and create a members-only secure site that will feature training information, a newsletter and future access to database records for updating purposes. Immediate tasks will center around: 1. ARIN website redesign (Rob Bailey, Webmaster) 2. Development of training materials and educational offerings (Ed Bull, Program Coordinator) 3. Website content reorganization and expansion (Barry Skeenes, Technical Writer) In addition to soliciting input at bi-annual Members meetings, the MSD proposes to utilize the CLEW (Community Learning and Education Working Group) and its mailing list to generate comment on proposed services, documentation, and to solicit volunteers to beta test training materials. You have an opportunity to shape the services you receive as members. Please subscribe today to the CLEW mailing list at http://www.arin.net/members/mailing.htm and watch for requests for comment on proposed services coming shortly. The CLEW group will meet during the April ARIN meetings in San Francisco, so be sure to register and join the discussions there. Questions and suggestions should be sent to member-services at arin.net. Regards, Susan Hamlin Director of Member Services
