The flowcharts that are now available provide overviews on how an ISP can make its initial request for the allocation of address space, how end-users can request assignments, and how organizations can request Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). In addition, a fourth flowchart addresses how organizations can request the transfer of Internet numbering resources. Each flowchart starts with identifying the relevant policy and guidelines documents and highlighting the policies under which organizations can apply for resources. It then outlines the process of requesting resources, interacting with ARIN regarding approval of your request, and continuing on through payment of fees and renewal information. You can highlight a step in the flowchart by moving your cursor over the appropriate icon. You will then see information related to that part of the process, as well as being able to go directly to relevant documents by clicking on an icon. Links to these flowcharts will be available on the applicable pages within the Registration Services section of our website, as well as our Library and Training sections. Or you can navigate to them directly at the following URLs: ISP Initial Request http://www.arin.net/library/training/isp_initial/ End-User Request http://www.arin.net/library/training/end_user/ AS Number Request http://www.arin.net/library/training/asn_process/ Transfer Request http://www.arin.net/library/training/transfer_process/ These documents are only summaries. Complete information about the policies and guidelines ARIN uses in allocating Internet numbering resources can be found on our website under the Registration Services and Policy sections. We would enjoy hearing feedback about these flowcharts, so address any comments to training at arin.net and include the name of the flowchart you are providing feedback on. Please be aware that these interactive flowcharts require that JavaScript be enabled within your browser. ARIN is also working on creating more content, in a variety of formats, for an upcoming "QuickStart" section on the website that will provide additional guidance in interacting with ARIN.

Now is the time to ensure your organization is eligible to cast a vote. Voting eligibility requires the following: 1. Org ID considered a member in good standing, meaning it is current on all membership and/or resource fee payments. See http://www.arin.net/membership/goodstanding.html for more information on these requirements. The day you cast and confirm your vote, ARIN will verify that your organization is a member in good standing. If it is not, your confirmed vote will be rejected. At that point your organization's membership status cannot be restored for the purpose of a qualifying vote for the 2003 elections. 2. Org ID has a registered member representative with a personalized e-mail account on record with the Member Services Department. Role accounts are NOT acceptable. It is the organization's responsibility to verify its status and make any updates or payments prior to the opening of the online voting period. Contact Member Services at memsvcs at arin.net for any questions regarding your member representative. Please contact billing at arin.net regarding your member in good standing status.
