With this action, the free pool of available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. To read the full text of this announcement please go to: http://www.nro.net/news/ipv4-free-pool-depleted To keep the community informed of the status of the ARIN's IPv4 address pool, we are now publishing a daily report of our IPv4 inventory of available addresses on our home page, https://www.arin.net. ARIN still has a pool of IPv4 address space, and we will continue to make allocations in accordance with the policies documented in the Number Resource Policy Manual. The depletion of the IANA IPv4 free pool does have a direct impact on a number of policies. To review these specific impacts and learn more about how IANA IPv4 free pool depletion will effect ARIN customers, please see: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/ipv4_depletion.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Thu Feb 3 18:12:11 2011 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:12:11 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] Enhancements to ARIN's RESTful Whois Now Available Message-ID: <4D4B364B.3020609@arin.net> ARIN deployed a series of enhancements to its Whois-RWS service on 3 February 2011. ARIN has enabled CIDR support and IPv6 lookups in the search box on the web page, provided plain text rendering of lists of ASNs and networks on the web, and enhanced CIDR query matching on WHOIS port 43. The first enhancement is CIDR matching capability on the search box for the web page. This allows you to search for a network address using prefix/length notation. Note that it will default to the less specific search result set that is described in the port 43 enhancements below. The next enhancement is a change to the default output on a query initiated by the search box on the web page for IP addresses, organizations, and ASNs. The query for an IP address or network will return the network as well as the full output of related Organization and Point of Contact (POC) data for the network. Likewise, the query result for an AS number will output the associated organization and related POCs along with the AS number. The query result for an organization, will list all related networks and ASNs, and give full output of associated POCs. This will allow you to view all information on a single web page. This ?pft? option is an enhancement to the RESTful web interface, and it is not available on port 43. To use it, append ?/pft? to the URL, for example: * http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/ARIN/pft * http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/ NET-192-136-136-0-1/pft Note again that web search forms will default to using the ?pft? option. The NICNAME/WHOIS port 43 service now supports more than exact match CIDR. You can now use the following flags on CIDR queries: * The "=" will mean exact match. * The ">" will mean more specific or ?down? the hierarchy. * The "<" will mean less specific or ?up? the hierarchy. If no hierarchy flag is given, "<" is to be assumed. The record type flag of ?r? should be used for network address space queries by CIDR.

In short, NewNOG has received a transfer of the NANOG trademark and related resources from Merit, and created a Membership model that is different from the one employed previously by NANOG. ---- NANOG Asset Transfer---- As of Monday, February 7th, Merit will be transferring the NANOG trademark and related resources to NewNOG. This includes the nanog.org domain, the NANOG log and the contents and archives of the NANOG mailing list and web site. NewNOG and Merit are working on a transition plan to migrate the mailing list and web infrastructure by the end of March with minimal downtime. For more information, please see our joint press release: http://www.merit.edu/news/newsarchive/article.php?article=20110201_nanog ---- NewNOG Membership Model ---- NewNOG has adopted a subscription membership model, details of which can be found at http://www.newnog.org/membership-policy.php. As a NewNOG Member, you are eligible to vote in NewNOG elections, run as a candidate for the Board of Directors, serve on administrative committees and other privileges as time progresses. It is not necessary to become a NewNOG member to attend NANOG conferences; we will have our normally published rates for conference attendance that are separate and distinct from NewNOG Membership fees. But we would like to invite everyone in the ARIN community to become a NewNOG Member and participate in shaping NewNOG policy and NANOG conference content in the years to come.

ARIN does not limit reassignment by ISPs to their customers based on any criteria except those that are explicitly described in the NRPM. An ISP is solely responsible for determining whether an organization is a customer for the purposes of reassignment under this policy." Rationale: This policy proposal is intended to permit an ISP to enter into reassignment relationships with anybody they deem to be a customer. Under this proposal, ARIN will not object to reassignment relationships because of their business nature. This specifically permits the reassignment of IPv4 addresses in "lease" relationships between an ISP and its customers, amongst others.

Unaffiliated Address Blocks 13.1. No Volunteer Services Except in the specific circumstances described by this policy, ARIN will not provide any services for any organization and/or address block. This includes without limitation all directory services, reverse mapping services, and future services that may be provided to the community. 13.1.1. Requested Services In the event that an organization explicitly requests registry services from ARIN for one or more specified address blocks, ARIN may provide the requested services, subsequent to execution of a service contract, for those address blocks. This includes without limitation all directory services, reverse mapping services, and future services that may be provided to the community. All address blocks that are assigned or allocated by ARIN under a valid RSA, as well as specific address blocks that are included under a Legacy RSA with the legitimate validated address holder, are deemed to have services requested for them. An organization requesting registry services for one or more specified address blocks, that also holds additional address blocks not specified in their request, is not obligated to receive registry services for those additional address blocks and those blocks are not deemed to have services requested for them. 13.1.2. Directory Placeholders For any address blocks, for which there are not fully executed ARIN service contracts, ARIN will create generic placeholder entries in the ARIN Whois directory. These placeholder entries will not specify organizational details, but will indicate that the entry represents a non-member resource. When applicable, each non-member resource placeholder will include a reference and/or RWhois referral to the authoritative directory service for that block, or the directory service operated by the IANA, or by another organization in the event that IANA has delegated their directory service responsibility to that organization. This does not apply to placeholders that represent an unassigned and unallocated address block delegated to ARIN by the IANA. 13.2. Recognition of Legitimate Address Holders ARIN will use the following criteria in order to determine whether an organization is the legitimate address holder for a given IP address block. 13.2.1. Original Allocation Record The original allocation records, such as those documented in RFC 1166 issued in July of 1990 or the InterNIC database received by ARIN from Network Solutions in December of 1997, will be used as dispositive proof, absent any contrary documentation such as those specified in section 13.2.4 below, in determining whether an organization is the legitimate address holder. 13.2.2 IANA Records of Legitimate Address Holders In the event that the IANA has historical records, and/or current records, showing the assignment or allocation of a given IP address block to a specific organization, those records will be used as proof, absent any contrary documentation, in determining whether an organization is the legitimate address holder. Further, in the event that this evidence conflicts with any evidence from the original allocation records, or any contrary documentation such as those specified in section 13.2.4 below, the evidence from the original allocation record will take precedence. 13.2.3. Records Maintained on Behalf of the IANA In the event that the IANA has delegated responsibility for the management of an address block to another organization, including ARIN or any other RIR, and that organization has historical and/or current records showing the assignment or allocation of a given IP address block to a specific organization, those records will be used as evidence in determining whether an organization is the legitimate address holder. Further, in the event that this evidence conflicts with any evidence from the original allocation records, or any contrary documentation such as those specified in section 13.2.4 below, the evidence from the original allocation record will take precedence. 13.2.4. Formal Records Clarifying the Chain of Custody In the event that formal records, such as public records or other formal documents which can be authenticated or verified to include legal, financial, and other organizational documentation, are provided to ARIN by an organization seeking recognition of their status as the legitimate address holder, then ARIN will consider the impact of these records as potentially updating any evidence that may exist. If these records clearly document the assignment or allocation of a given IP address block to a specific organization by direct assignment, and/or organizational transitions such as mergers, acquisitions, business unit restructuring, asset transfers, name changes, and so forth, absent definitive documentation to the contrary, then these records will determine whether an organization is the legitimate address holder. 13.3. Permitted Updates to Directory Services for Unaffiliated Address Blocks Any organization that legitimately holds an address block, as defined by section 13.2 of this policy, may request the removal or modification of existing directory placeholders representing that address block. Valid requests for modification of placeholder entries are limited to references and/or RWhois referrals to authoritative directory services, such as directory services operated by or on behalf of the IANA, another address registry, or the address holder. In the event that such a request is received, ARIN may choose to either remove the placeholder entry or update it per the request. Rationale: Policy Background: This policy attempts to clarify the relationship that ARIN has with legacy address holders. Specifically, this policy recognizes that absent an agreement such as the RSA or LRSA there is no formal relationship with legacy address holders. At present, however, ARIN continues to provide services to these organizations. This is done without compensation and potentially in opposition to the legacy address holders' wishes. As a result of this behavior ARIN has created an illusion of implied authority that exposes ARIN to unacceptable levels of liability, is hindering the development of an open address market (driving it "underground"), and is putting the operational stability of the Internet at risk. As new services such as RPKI are contemplated this situation becomes even more critical. This policy would require positive affirmation from any legacy address holder that wishes to receive registry services, moving to an "opt-in" approach. In the event that a legacy address holder does not opt-in to receive registry services, ARIN is limited to providing no more than a pointer (such as a RWhois referral) to an authoritative directory service for that holder's legacy address blocks. Pointers to other providers of directory services for addresses managed by those other providers continue to be permitted. Policy Structure: This policy introduces a new section to the NRPM, numbered section 13. Within this new section, there are three sub-sections. Sub-section 13.1 introduces policy that limits ARIN to providing services on an opt-in basis. It does make clear in 13.1.1 that services provided as part of a RSA or LRSA are automatically considered opted-in. With 13.1.2 it allows ARIN to create placeholders in the Whois database for blocks managed by other RIRs as well as for blocks managed (but unassigned/unallocated) by ARIN. Sub-section 13.2 introduces policy that specifies how ARIN will go about determining who a "legitimate" address holder is. It is similar to current procedure with 13.2.2 and 13.2.3, which specify the use of IANA and RIR records. It expands on the current procedures with 13.2.4, allowing organizations to provide legal documentation of organizational changes and/or the transfer of custody of a legacy address block. Sub-section 13.3 introduces policy enabling legitimate address holders to request a very limited update to any Whois placeholders that might exist for their legacy address block, so that the Whois will refer queries to the authoritative directory service. It is expected that ARIN will charge a fee for this update, but not require an ongoing services agreement. ARIN is given the option of deleting placeholders instead.

From info at arin.net Wed Feb 23 11:59:36 2011 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:59:36 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] New Tutorial: Using ARIN Online for Delegation Management & DNSSEC Message-ID: <4D653CF8.2090805@arin.net> ARIN is proud to present a preview of the soon-to-be-released DNS management interface. We encourage you to view the tutorial which demonstrates how to use ARIN Online for delegation management along with new DNSSEC functionality. https://www.arin.net/knowledge/dnssec/ When this new functionality is deployed in late March, delegation management will only be accessible via ARIN Online and it will allow you to make changes in real time. Based on the complexity involved in DNS management, there will be no corresponding template to affect DNS changes. In order to access these functions, you will need an ARIN Online account and must be a POC with authority to manage resources for your organization. If you have not yet established an ARIN Online account, we strongly recommend you do so in advance of the release. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the coming changes; we think you will like what you see. ARIN continues to welcome community participation on the Technical Discussions mailing list, and we invite you to subscribe and provide feedback to: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-tech-discuss Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Wed Feb 23 13:17:29 2011 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:17:29 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] Counting Down to ARIN XXVII Message-ID: <4D654F39.1060707@arin.net> We are getting closer to the ARIN XXVII Public Policy and Members Meeting, taking place 10-13 April, in beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico.

Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ARIN-prop-136 Services Opt-out Allowed for Unaffiliated Address Blocks Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 20:47:30 -0500 From: ARIN To: arin-ppml at arin.net ARIN-prop-136: Services Opt-out Allowed for Unaffiliated Address Blocks ARIN acknowledges receipt of the policy proposal that can be found below. The ARIN Advisory Council (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. 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.

Unaffiliated Address Blocks 13.x. Opt-out Allowed ARIN provides IP address registry services to all IP address holders in the ARIN region, for all IP address resources that are not registered by another RIR, regardless of whether any given address holder has entered into a services agreement. However, ARIN will cease providing any registry services for specific IP address resources in the event that the legitimate address holder of an unaffiliated address block, that is an address block that is not covered by an ongoing services agreement, chooses to opt-out of receiving any or all registry services from ARIN. 13.x.1. Requirements for Whois Opt-out In order for an opt-out request for Whois directory services to be valid, the legitimate address holder must agree to provide a replacement directory service reflecting operationally accurate allocation and assignment information for the specified IP number resources. ARIN will create generic placeholder entries in the ARIN Whois directory for all IP number resources that are removed due to opt-out, and each placeholder entry will include a reference and/or RWhois referral to the replacement directory service. Rationale: This proposal does not seek to replace ARIN-prop-133 but is offered as an exclusive alternative for consideration by the ARIN community, in order to address concerns that it would unfairly harm legacy address holders and/or cause unnecessary damage to the Whois database. Policy Background: This policy attempts to clarify the relationship that ARIN has with legacy address holders. Specifically, this policy recognizes that absent an agreement such as the RSA or LRSA there is no formal relationship with legacy address holders. At present, however, ARIN continues to provide services to these organizations. This is done without compensation and potentially in opposition to the legacy address holders' wishes. As a result of this behavior ARIN has created an illusion of implied authority that exposes ARIN to unacceptable levels of liability, is hindering the development of an open address market (driving it "underground"), and is putting the operational stability of the Internet at risk. As new services such as RPKI are contemplated this situation becomes even more critical. This policy assumes the tacit consent of all address holders in the ARIN region, to receive ARIN registry services and to be governed by ARIN policy, but allows for legitimate address holders of unaffiliated address blocks to explicitly opt-out of any and/or all services. This approach would allow ARIN to continue providing volunteer services to any member of the legacy community as long as this service was not contrary to their wishes. Further, it would allow legacy address holders to opt-out of some services such as Whois while continuing to receive other services such as in-addr DNS reverse mapping. In the event that a legacy address holder does opt-out of Whois directory services under this policy, ARIN would require the address holder to provide a replacement directory service and would continue to provide a Whois pointer (such as a RWhois referral) to that service. As a result, the integrity of the distributed Whois database would remain intact and be improved.
