All feedback received on the mailing lists about this policy proposal will be included in the discussions that will take place at the upcoming public policy meeting. ***** Policy Proposal 2002-1: Lame Delegations in IN-ADDR.ARPA It is proposed that ARIN actively identify lame servers on a regular basis and notify the ARIN point of contact (POC) of their findings. It is further proposed that ARIN monitor the status of those identified lame servers and remove all delegations that remain lame for a period of 30 days. ***** It is understood there are many issues that need to be discussed related to this policy proposal. Specifically: * How should the term "lame" be defined, as it relates to this proposed policy? * There has been recent discussion about the desire for WHOIS to more strictly reflect the delegations within IN-ADDR.ARPA. o Should lame delegations be identified in WHOIS, or simply removed? o If they are only flagged as lame, are they ever removed? o If they are removed, should ARIN publicly document removals? * How should the POCs of networks with lame servers be contacted by ARIN? * Should ARIN proactively or reactively conduct monitoring to identify lame delegations? This policy proposal discussion will take place on the database working group mailing list (dbwg at arin.net).

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. Regards, Richard Jimmerson Director of Operations American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
