From richardj at arin.net Tue Feb 12 16:08:05 2002 From: richardj at arin.net (Richard Jimmerson) Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 16:08:05 -0500 Subject: ARIN Database and Template Transition Message-ID: <010101c1b409$5da0a900$e7fc95c0@cobalt> ARIN will transition to a new database and templates in June of 2002. Over the past year, ARIN has developed requirements for the new database with input from members of the ARIN user community at ARIN meetings and on the DB Working Group mailing list, dbwg at arin.net. A training program describing the new database and templates is currently under development. This training program will be offered in person at the upcoming ARIN meeting in April, and on-line for those who are unable to attend the meeting. Training will focus primarily on the new objects of the ARIN database and the newly designed templates. The newly designed templates are available now at: ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/new-templates/ The templates incorporate the comments submitted via the DB Working Group with the efforts of Registration Services and Engineering Departments. ARIN is providing these templates well in advance of the conversion, and is encouraging those ISPs that have auto-generated SWIPs to revise those scripts, and submit templates as beta tests. ARIN will solicit beta testers from the community for the new database and templates. Participation will be open to all interested parties. More information about beta testing will soon become available.
