Based on feedback from the community and experience executing Registration Service Agreements (RSAs), ARIN has constructed a new RSA, version 11.0, and is seeking community input regarding this new version. Following community consultation and finalization, entities requesting Internet number resources from ARIN will be using this new RSA version 11.0. Existing holders of Internet number resources will also have the opportunity to upgrade to this new version of the RSA. There are notable and substantive changes with this new version. These changes are described in more detail in the original announcement at: https://www.arin.net/announcements/2012/20120222.html The new RSA version 11.0 is available at the following URL: https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/rsa_draft_ver11.pdf We strongly encourage you to review both the current and proposed versions of the RSA, and to submit your constructive comments to arin-consult at arin.net.

The work will take place from 6:00 AM until approximately 5:00 PM EDT. There are two phases to this work window. Between 6:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT ARIN users will experience interruption of three external services while this maintenance is performed. For the duration, you will not be able to log in to your ARIN Online account. Any mail sent to Registration Services will be queued and not immediately acknowledged. Additionally, transactions submitted via ARIN?s RESTful Provisioning service will be rejected with an outage error. Once the systems are back online, you will regain use of your ARIN Online account and queued mail will be processed. You will need to resubmit any RESTful calls sent during the outage so they can be processed. Whois services may be degraded during this time. Between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM EDT, all ARIN services will be available, but Whois services may be degraded while the system updates are completed. All other ARIN publicly available services (IRR, website, etc) will be available during this outage. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Thu Mar 29 10:18:50 2012 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:18:50 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] Something is New at www.arin.net Message-ID: <4F746F4A.3030801@arin.net> Over the last year, ARIN has been getting a lot of questions about how it deals with Internet number resource transfers. Particularly, there has been some confusion about ARIN?s current IPv4 address pool and the differences between transfers and the Specified Transfer Listing Service (STLS). In an effort to address these concerns, ARIN has done an overhaul of its homepage and transfer related content. On the homepage you will see that the IPv4 Address Counter has been moved to a more prominent position and that directly above it there is a link to the Transfer Resources section of the website. You can use this link to go to the main Transfer Resources landing page or mouse over the ?More Information? box to reveal dropdown navigation for shortcuts to each page in the section. There are several important changes and new pages within the Transfer Resources section: https://www.arin.net/resources/transfers/index.html - On the landing page, there is a graphic that describes each of the options that might have you inquiring about transfers to help you find the right information for your situation. https://www.arin.net/resources/transfers/transfer_market.html - This new page is helpful to anyone who wants to understand ARIN?s transfer process and the state of the IPv4 transfer market. https://www.arin.net/resources/transfers/quickguide.html - In addition to updating the guidelines for transfers, ARIN created a quick guide, much like the popular ?Quick Guide to Requesting Resource from ARIN?. There are also a variety of other improvements that we encourage you to explore. The ARIN website is a core part of our service to the community, and we are interested in your feedback on the new design and content. Please send any comments, suggestions, or questions to webmaster at arin.net. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
