It is available at: https://www.arin.net/public/hashTool.xhtml **CKN23-ARIN Changes Implemented** On 15 November, ARIN completed the implementation of the plan that was developed in response to the CKN23-ARIN community consultation.

These traveling, no-cost events provide the latest from ARIN on everything; from technical services and tools, to current ARIN policy developments and the status of IPv6 adoption. ARIN on the Road will kick off 2018 by visiting San Diego, CA and Albuquerque, NM on 23 and 25 January, respectively. Registration is now open for both events at https://www.arin.net/sandiego and https://www.arin.net/albuquerque. We hope to see you there! To learn more about ARIN on the Road, visit https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/on-the-road/index.html **Featured Policy Requirement** Initial allocation to LIRs (NRPM 6.5.2) Did you know that ISPs can easily qualify for an initial IPv6 allocation? Under current policies, most organizations will qualify for their first IPv6 allocation of the minimum /36 or /32 sizes, and most ISPs that already have IPv4 registered will have no increase to their existing annual maintenance fees. **Tip from ARIN?s Registration Services Department** Do you have an Organization Identifier (Org ID) with ARIN that needs updating because the current Point of Contact (POC) has left your organization? There are a few different ways to update your Org ID. If the Org ID was created for your organization by your ISP for an IP reassignment they are providing you, you will need to contact your ISP and inform them of the change in points of contact. If you are already linked as the Admin or Tech POC on the Org ID, you can add or remove other POCs for that Org ID in the ?Organization Identifiers? section of ?Your Account? in the left navigation bar in ARIN Online. If the former employee was the only POC listed on the Org ID, you will need to submit an Organization Recovery (Org Recovery) request. If you don?t already have an ARIN Online account, you?ll need to create one before creating your own POC, then requesting the Org Recovery from within the ?Organization Identifiers? section of ?Your Account.? ARIN staff will work with you to verify you are authorized to be added as the new point of contact for your organization. Have any questions? Give our Registration Services Department a call at 703.227.0660 or submit an Ask ARIN ticket from within your ARIN Online account, and an analyst will be happy to help you. **Tip from ARIN?s Financial Services Department** The Financial Services Department requests that customers sign the current Registration Services Agreement (RSA) for: 1. Name change requests 2. Reinstatement requests 3. New customers with resource requests 4. Existing customers with an RSA on file that is older than two versions from the current version Return the completed agreement to ARIN via the corresponding ARIN Online ticket, email billing at arin.net, or mail a hard copy to: ARIN Attn: Financial Services Dept. PO BOX 232290 Centreville, VA 20120 **Get Involved with ARIN in 2018** Since the new year is upon us and it?s the perfect time for a fresh start, consider making 2018 the year you get more involved with ARIN!

ARIN originated through more than a year of discussions involving the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), RIPE NCC, APNIC, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Federal Networking Council (FNC) concerning a proposal to manage IP number assignments apart from the registration of Internet domain names. Consistent with the RIPE NCC and APNIC models, representatives of the Internet community suggested a non-profit organization as an appropriate body to manage IP address space for assigned territories. With that, ARIN was born and began operation with just a handful of employees on 22 December 1997. As we look back on the years we?ve spent serving the ARIN region, we are taking the time to remember some of the important milestones we?ve reached over the years: 20 March 1998 ? first ARIN Members Meeting is held 3 August 1999 ? first IPv6 block is issued 15 October 2004 ? ARIN NRPM is published 4 October 2008 ? ARIN Online is launched 17 August 2010 ? first ARIN on the Road event 3 February 2011 ? ARIN receives its last /8 from IANA IPv4 Free Pool 24 September 2015 ? ARIN?s free IPv4 address pool reaches zero Q3 2016 ? 50% of ARIN members have IPv6 To view even more milestones plus memorable quotes from the ARIN community and staff, visit: https://teamarin.net/education/celebrating-20th-anniversary/ There is no doubt that we could have come this far without the diligence and dedication of the ARIN community, both stakeholders and staff alike. We know that we are powered by participation and we wouldn?t be where we are today without the Internet community at-large. From all of us here at ARIN, we wish to express our sincere gratitude for all of the support we?ve received over the past two decades. We look forward to the many opportunities that lie ahead of us to connect, engage, and forge a path toward a stronger and more secure Internet.
