A short voter requirements FAQ is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/elections/voterfaq.html The final list of candidates will be announced on 9 October.

Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Mon Oct 5 16:26:01 2009 From: info at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:26:01 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] =?windows-1252?q?Call_for_Community_Consultation_?= =?windows-1252?q?=96ARIN_Resource_Revocation_Procedures?= Message-ID: <4ACA5659.1040407@arin.net> ARIN is seeking community input regarding potential changes to ARIN?s number resource revocation procedures. ARIN initiates the revocation process when an organization is more than 90 days overdue on their registration fees. After every possible attempt has been made to contact the organization, ARIN will revoke the resource(s) and remove the record from the database. At that time, the resource is put into a ?hold bucket? for one year before it is added into the available pool for re-issue. This 12-month period allows adequate time for the resource to clear any filters, and also allows ample time for the organization to pay the overdue fees. ARIN currently allows organizations the full 12-month period to pay overdue fees and have resources reinstated. It has been our experience that the majority of ISP and end-user organizations pay overdue fees within one week of having resources revoked, but ASN registrants, who often don?t feel an immediate operational impact from of the revocation, tend to come back to pay long after the revocation occurs. To align our procedures with more generally accepted business practices, ARIN is considering reducing the amount of time an organization has to pay overdue fees to six months, at which point, if no payment has been made, the resources would be permanently revoked. If an organization attempts to submit payment after the six month limit, they would be required to reapply. If approved, they could receive the same resources if they are available, or new ones if not. ARIN is seeking comments regarding this proposed change through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process, available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html Please submit your comments to the arin-consult at arin.net.

ARIN wants to ensure the data in this RSS feed is provided in the manner most useful to the community. To understand the data currently provided in this RSS feed, it is important to define the terminology used to describe the different ways number resources are recovered by ARIN. Revoked address space is space that ARIN takes back from a registrant for non-payment of registration fees. Reclaimed address space is space that ARIN takes back in response to confirmed fraudulent activity by the registrant or someone else (i.e. hijacking), OR because ARIN has found that the address space is not being used by the original registrant (out of business) and there is no evidence that the business was acquired or merged. Returned address space is space that is voluntarily returned to ARIN by the registrant because it is no longer in use and/or needed. Each time that ARIN recovers an address block (regardless of the recovery method) it is placed into hold status for one year to allow adequate time to clear filters. Currently, this RSS feed is a daily e-mail update listing the recovered address space (without attribution to the recovery method) that has been released from hold status and is available for re-issue to a new customer. The RSS feed also lists all address space issued by ARIN that day. Recently, there has been discussion by the community about: 1. Adding additional data to the RSS feed, including listing the address space recovered and put into hold status each day 2. Enhancing the current RSS feed format and associated report that goes out over a distribution only e-mail list using a XML format. Please note that there may be some controversy associated with adding address space to the RSS feed on the day it is recovered by ARIN. Some individuals have expressed concern that advertising the date when space is recovered would give a heads up to the ?bad actors? and make the space a target for abuse. ARIN welcomes your feedback on each of these topics and will use your input to determine our course of action. The current process for subscribing to the RSS feed and additional information about it can be found at: https://www.arin.net/participate/mailing_lists/rss.html ARIN is seeking comments regarding this proposed change through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process, available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html Please submit your comments to the arin-consult at arin.net.

Regards, Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 101: Multihomed initial allocation criteria Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:34:09 -0400 From: Member Services To: arin-ppml at arin.net ARIN received the following policy proposal and is posting it to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML) in accordance with Policy Development Process. This proposal is in the first stage of the Policy Development Process. ARIN staff will perform the Clarity and Understanding step. Staff does not evaluate the proposal at this time, their goal is to make sure that they understand the proposal and believe the community will as well. Staff will report their results to the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) within 10 days. The AC will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the proposal and announce the decision to the PPML. In the meantime, the AC invites everyone to comment on the proposal on the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Initial allocation criteria to the following: 4. be an existing, known ISP in the ARIN region or have a plan for making at least 200 end-site assignments to other organizations within 5 years or, if multihomed, demonstrate the efficient utilization of a minimum contiguous or noncontiguous /44 (sixteen /48s) from an upstream. Rationale: The bar for obtaining initial IPv4 allocations is lower for those ISPs which are multi-homed, it stands to reason that it also be lower in IPv6. Since efficient utilization is based on the use of /48s, this policy would effectively allow any ISP with 15 active customers (with one /48 each and one /48 for the ISPs own network) to receive an initial allocation of an IPv6 /32 from ARIN. I think this is a better approach than removing or lowering the end-site assignment requirement for _all_ ISPs while still providing more open access to IPv6.
