ARIN shall follow the same guidelines for revocation that are required for voluntary return in the previous paragraph. 12.6 Update to: Except in cases of fraud, or violations of policy, an organization shall be given a minimum (30) days to respond. Progress of record(s) correction(s) must be visible within (60) days after correspondence with ARIN began or ARIN will start proceeding with removal of DNS services and/or resources issued by ARIN. ARIN shall negotiate a longer term with the organization if ARIN believes the organization is working in good faith to substantially restore compliance and has a valid need for additional time to renumber out of the affected blocks. Rationale: To date the community has not documented or firmly established use of an effective enforcement mechanism. This policy will support current policy and compel those who are allocated ARIN resources to maintain the proper WHOIS records in accordance with ARIN NRPM. While it is recognized this is not an absolute solution to ensure compliance, it is the best method under current ARIN policies.

This block will not be allocated or assigned to any single organization, but is to be shared by Service Providers for internal use for IPv4 address extension deployments until connected networks fully support IPv6. Examples of such needs include: IPv4 addresses between home gateways and NAT444 translators. Rationale: The Internet community is rapidly consuming the remaining supply of unallocated IPv4 addresses. During the transition period to IPv6, it is imperative that Service Providers maintain IPv4 service for devices and networks that are currently incapable of upgrading to IPv6. Consumers must be able to reach the largely IPv4 Internet after exhaustion. Without a means to share addresses, people or organizations who gain Internet access for the first time, or those who switch providers, or move to another area, will be unable to reach the IPv4 Internet. Further, many CPE router devices used to provide residential or small-medium business services have been optimized for IPv4 operation, and typically require replacement in order to fully support the transition to IPv6 (either natively or via one of many transition technologies). In addition, various consumer devices including IP-enabled televisions, gaming consoles, medical and family monitoring devices, etc. are IPv4-only, and cannot be upgraded. While these will eventually be replaced with dual-stack or IPv6 capable devices, this transition will take many years. As these are typically consumer-owned devices, service providers do not have control over the speed of their replacement cycle. However, consumers have an expectation that they will continue to receive IPv4 service, and that such devices will continue to have IPv4 Internet connectivity after the IPv4 pool is exhausted, even if the customer contracts for new service with a new provider. Until such customers replace their Home Gateways and all IPv4-only devices with IPv6-capable devices, Service Providers will be required to continue to offer IPv4 services through the use of an IPv4 address sharing technology such as NAT444. A recent study showed that there is no part of RFC1918 space which would not overlap with some IPv4 gateways, and therefore to prevent address conflicts, new address space is needed. Service providers are currently presented with three options for obtaining sufficient IPv4 address space for NAT444/IPv4 extension deployments: (1) Request allocations under the NRPM; (2) share address space with other providers (this proposal); or (3) use address space allocated to another entity (i.e. ?squat?). Of the three options, option 2 (this proposal) is preferable, as it will minimize the number of addresses used for IPv4 extension deployments while preserving the authority of IANA and RIRs.

ARIN recognizes the importance of Internet number resource certification in the region as a key element of further securing Internet routing, and plans to rollout Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) at the end of the second quarter of 2011 with support for the Up/Down protocol for those ISPs who wish to certify their subdelegations via their own RPKI infrastructure. ARIN continues to evaluate offering a Hosting Resource Certification service for this purpose (as an alternative to organizations having to run their own RPKI infrastructure), but at this time it remains under active consideration and is not committed. We look forward to discussing the need for this type of service and the organization implications atour upcoming ARIN Members Meeting in April in San Juan, PR.

These new systems will improve the customer experience and greatly increase the level of automation used to process requests and manage resources. ARIN has made a series of announcements about pending changes to templates, the new delegation management model, and the addition of API keys. These changes will impact each and every customer, and if you don't prepare, your template submissions will be rejected by the new system. There are many steps you can take to be ready for these changes, and I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare in advance. The first step is to set up an ARIN Online account if you have not yet done so; this is a great opportunity to make sure all the information on your Point of Contact and Organization records is current. The next step will be to set up an API Key. If you already have your account established, take a minute to log in and create your API key. There are a couple of ways that API keys will be used; refer to https://www.arin.net/features/api_keys.html for details. You will also want to familiarize yourself with the updated and soon to be released, Version 5 templates. These templates include the API key fields, and may be previewed at: https://www.arin.net/features/template_changes.html The new templates will be released at the same time ARIN changes systems in order to support per-delegation management of nameservers and provision secure delegations through Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). This new delegation management system will be available through ARIN Online only. We hope to have a demo of this new functionality available soon for you to preview. I encourage you to learn more about all of the projects in development; details are available at: https://www.arin.net/features/ If you have further questions about these template changes or other upcoming features, please email hostmaster at arin.net.
