Do you want to know what policy proposals will be discussed at the upcoming ARIN Public Policy Meeting? 2. Do you have an idea about how ARIN should manage Internet Number Resources? 3. Do you think that a current policy should be enhanced or changed, or even retired? 4. Are you hesitant about making a formal proposal on the Public Policy Mail List (PPML)? 5. Are you new to the Policy Development Process? If you answered ?yes? to any of these questions, then you should attend the Open Policy Hour! Come and get a better understanding of what will be discussed during the upcoming Public Policy Meeting, or discuss and receive feedback on your ideas in an open, informal forum. The Open Policy Hour consists of two parts. Part One is the Policy Proposal Background Briefing. ARIN staff will provide an overview of the policy proposals on the meeting agenda. Members of the ARIN Advisory Council will be present to answer general questions about these proposals. The proposal content will not be discussed. This session offers general information on the nature of the proposals. Part Two is the Policy Proposal BoF. This is where you can "test drive" a policy idea. How can you participate? Bring your ideas and questions. If you have a policy suggestion, but would like to receive feedback prior to submitting it to the community on the PPML, here is your opportunity. Preference will be given to individuals with prepared short (3-minute) presentations. To sign up in advance please send an e-mail to policy at arin.net by 2 April 2008 with your name, organization, and a brief description of your policy subject. Walk-up presenters are also welcome. Join your colleagues for this informal session. The Open Policy Hour for ARIN XXI will be held on Sunday, 6 April, from 4:30 - 5:30 PM. If you are not familiar with the way policies are developed in the ARIN region, join ARIN staff a half hour earlier, at 4:00 PM, for a review of the Internet Resource Policy Evaluation Process.

This will only contain allocations/assignments made directly by ARIN or address blocks returned to ARIN's free pool. The intent is that RBL operators can subscribe to such a feed and keep their own lists clean." Although there is some merit in allowing the community prompt visibility to both the IP blocks being returned to ARIN's available pool of addresses and the IP blocks being issued by ARIN to the community, we also see this as a potential target for abuse. Specifically, certain parties may take the opportunity to use and announce IP addresses from these ranges without having the administrative authority to do so. To that end, there are two questions we like to ask the community: 1) Does the community think that the merits of this proposal outweigh the potential for abuse? 2) If the merits do outweigh the abuse, what sorts of suggestions do you have to mitigate potential for abuse? Please submit your feedback to the consult at arin.net. You can subscribe to the arin-consult mailing list at http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/consult. Discussion on consult at arin.net will close at 5:00 PM EDT 10 April. Depending upon the discussion, ARIN may decide to conduct a poll on the topic during the following week. Only subscribers on the consult at arin.net list when the poll opens will be eligible to participate. The ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process documentation is available at: http://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/acsp.html We welcome community-wide participation. Please address any process questions to info at arin.net. Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *********************************************************************** 2008.2 Submitted 01-17-2008 05:39:14 ARIN should track all RBLs, DUNS and similar IP address blacklists. Then, when an address block is re-issued to another organization or returned from an organization, ARIN should check these lists. If addresses from the re-issued block are found on one of the lists, then ARIN should attempt to inform the list maintainer. In addition, ARIN should publish a report of addresses returned, and addresses issued, in the form of a mailing list (with daily email) and an RSS feed. This will only contain allocations/assignments made directly by ARIN or address blocks returned to ARIN's free pool. The intent is that RBL operators can subscribe to such a feed and keep their own lists clean.

The Board also voted to remove the Mailing Lists section from the NRPM (Section 9). This section described the acceptable use policies of ARIN mail lists. The section was an artifact of the creation of the NRPM and was not number resource policy. NRPM version 2008.2 is effective 27 March 2008 and supersedes previous versions. See Appendix A of the NRPM for information regarding changes to the manual.
