Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Tue Aug 17 10:14:41 2010 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:14:41 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] Managing Your Delegations in DNSSEC Message-ID: <4C6A9951.9030806@arin.net> There are a number of critical improvements to ARIN services that are projected to be released at the end of 2010. ARIN is changing its systems in order to support per-delegation management of nameservers and provision secure delegations through Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). In the future, these changes will also be used to improve reporting of lame delegations. ARIN?s new system will enable you to individually manage each of your reverse zones within a network. For complete details on these changes and a preview of the new user interface, visit: https://www.arin.net/features/delegation_management.html As part of the delegation management change, we will be releasing a new set of templates that will include an API key field for added security and authentication. API keys are issued through ARIN Online and are not published to the community in any way. Since these keys are not published, template submissions will be more secure. There are multiple ways to add an API key but the most reasonable is to place it within the request template. For details on this and other uses for API keys, please refer to: https://www.arin.net/features/api_keys.html The nameserver fields and the optional resource contact section are also being removed from the templates. For those who continue to use the version 4 templates, the new system will ignore nameserver changes submitted via template and will ignore any resource POCs added on Detailed Reassignment or Reallocation templates. Please note that version 3 templates will not be supported after the new templates are released, so if you are still using version 3, please plan accordingly. ARIN is making the new templates available for preview at: https://www.arin.net/features/template_changes.html Because the current system is not yet ready to accept the new templates, please continue using the current template set until further notice. After the version 5 templates are released, all new requests should be submitted using these revised templates. The new system is backward compatible, so ARIN will continue to accept the version 4 templates to allow customers using scripts sufficient time to update their software. If you continue using version 4 templates after version 5 is released, you must include an API key in the subject line or associate your e-mail address with an API key (see the link above for further instructions on this). ARIN encourages all customers to transition to using ARIN Online to modify your resources as these features are released because they will allow your modifications to be reflected immediately in our database. We will continue to provide and support templates for those who are unable to use ARIN?s Web interface. ARIN will be providing additional information in the coming months to help you prepare for the upcoming changes. Details on all of the projects in development are available at: https://www.arin.net/features/ If you have further questions about these template changes or other upcoming features, please e-mail hostmaster at arin.net.

The work will take place from 7:00 AM until approximately 9:00 AM EDT. ARIN will experience interruption of two external services while this maintenance is performed. For the duration, any mail sent to Registration Services (hostmaster at arin.net and reassign at arin.net) will be queued, and you will not be able to use your ARIN Online account to submit transactions. Once the systems are back online, queued mail will be processed, and you will regain use of your ARIN Online account.

Per ARIN's Number Resource Policy Manual, section 8.3, "Transfers to Specified Recipients", ARIN's STLS allows validated organizations to indicate potential availability of IPv4 number resources that could be released for use by an organization with validated need. The STLS also allows organizations that have ARIN validated needs, not yet satisfied by ARIN, to list their interest in participating as a specified recipient in an IPv4 number resource transfer. Individuals can now request, on behalf of their organization, to participate in the STLS via the "Listing Service" link on the left hand navigation in ARIN Online. In addition, approved STLS participants can view entries in the STLS using the Downloads feature when logged in to their ARIN Online account. Full details on this service are available at: https://www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing/index.html Learn more about ARIN Online at: https://www.arin.net/public/aboutARINonline.xhtml Find out more about upcoming features and services at: https://www.arin.net/features/ Log in today and check out these enhancements, or create your ARIN Online account at: https://www.arin.net ARIN will produce a STLS summary for public use that includes the number of IPv4 number resources potentially available (tallied by available address block size) and a summary of the IPv4 number resources needed (tallied by needed address block size). The public SLTS summary will be updated as participation in the service changes, and it will not contain any organizational name or contact information.
