Remote participants are encouraged to contribute to policy discussions and other meeting sessions as part of ARIN?s on-going effort to create a community-wide open forum. In order to participate remotely, you must register for the meeting. To register for free, visit: https://www.arin.net/ARIN-XXIX/. Click ?Register for ARIN XXIX? and select "ARIN XXIX Remote Participant" from the drop-down menu. When you register as a remote participant, you should be sure you have a Jabber client and be ready to supply your Jabber Identifier (JID).

For all the details visit: https://www.arin.net/ARIN-XXIX/remote.html Before the meeting, be sure to check the schedules for remote participation and don?t forget to download the meeting materials which will be available online. The meeting program, discussion guide, and other supporting documents will help you to follow along. It is true that there is no need to register is to view the webcast or live transcript, but as a registered remote participant, you will be able to submit comments during normal question and answer periods and ?raise your hand? to be counted during polling. ARIN believes that remote participants have as much to contribute to the policy process as the in-person attendees. To thank remote participants for taking time out to log in, ask questions, and vote in straw polls, we will be sending verified remote participants an ARIN XXIX t-shirt to thank them for their participation. All remote participants are subject to the Remote Participation Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) found at: https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/remote_aup.html Complete information about remote participation is available at on the remote participation page of our website: https://www.arin.net/ARIN-XXIX/remote.html Whether you plan to be on-site or can only take part remotely, we look forward to your participation at ARIN XXIX.

The Scholarship will be awarded annually to a recipient selected by a committee comprising representatives from the NANOG Board of Directors and the ARIN Board of Trustees. The selection committee will "whimsically" select the annual recipient exclusively in response to the question: "What Would Jon Do?" if he were asked to select a recipient. The successful applicant will be provided with transportation to and from the NANOG and ARIN joint meeting October 21-26, 2012, in Dallas, Texas, USA, and a reasonable (local host standard) allowance for food and accommodation. In addition, all fees for participation in both meetings' events will be waived. The final grant size is determined according to final costs and available funding. The chosen recipient will be advised at least 2 months prior to the fall meeting date. Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted. The deadline for application is June 1, 2012, and the awardees will be informed by July 16, 2012. Please read full information about the scholarship at: http://www.nanog.org/scholarships/postel.php Please pass along this information and encourage those interested to apply by completing the web-based application form that is linked from the information page.

On 26 March 2012, ARIN concluded its consultation with the community with regards to RSA Version 11.0. The revisions found in version 11.0 were based on the information received from the community over the past year, experience executing RSAs, and comments in response to the open consultation. * RSA Version 11.0 is an update to the previous RSA Version 10.2; however, with the nature of the changes, it is not useful to describe changes line by line. This new version includes a number of revisions including but not limited to: * Removal of the application process from the contract document * Clarity with respect to conditions when ARIN will seek resource utilization information from a holder, and conditions when ARIN may revoke resources * Expanding venues for dispute resolution The previous version of the RSA, version 10.2, will remain on our website for comparison and review for the next 90 days. Please feel free to compare the two documents and observe the updates and modifications that have been incorporated into RSA 11.0. To view Version 11.0 of the RSA, please visit: https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/rsa.pdf Anyone needing further information about the RSA can call the Financial Services Help Desk at +1-703-227-9886 or send an email to billing at arin.net. Nothing in this announcement alters or otherwise modifies any terms of RSAs previously signed.
