From info at arin.net Sun Jan 1 12:01:02 2017 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2017 12:01:02 -0500 Subject: [arin-announce] New ARIN Transfer Fee Implemented Today Message-ID: <586935CE.9080302@arin.net> Today ARIN implemented a new Resource Transfer fee, as previously announced on 19 December 2016 (https://www.arin.net/vault/announcements/2016/20161219.html). Beginning today, ARIN will collect a $300 USD, non-refundable processing fee for each transfer request of Internet number resources, including: 8.2 Merger, Acquisition, and Reorganization transfers; billed to the source (or legal successor) organization. 8.3 Transfers to Specified Recipients within the ARIN region, billed to the source-side organization. The Transfer processing fee is waived when the subject resources are under an existing Registration Services Plan (RSP), and no specific transfer processing fee will be charged to the recipient-side organization. 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients, a fee is billed to the source-side organization if within the ARIN region. This transfer processing fee is waived when the subject resources are under an existing Registration Services Plan (RSP). No specific transfer processing fee will be charged to recipient-side organizations. This fee will be invoiced to the source organization's billing Point of Contact (POC) and are to be paid before request evaluation begins. It replaces the $500 resource transfer fee on the 2016 fee schedule (https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html#resource_transfers). Note that this fee change will only affect transfer requests submitted on or after 1 January 2017. For each transfer request of Internet number resources submitted before that date, the recipient organization will pay the 2016 transfer fee of $500 and may need to execute the Registration Services Agreement if a current version is not on file. Transferred resources will be subject to annual fees as stipulated by the fee schedule, including registry maintenance fees or corresponding Registration Services Plan. Additional fees may apply based on the status of the source or recipient organization at the time of transfer. This change arose out of a community consultation, which is available for review at: https://arin.net/participate/acsp/community_consult/09-01-2016_transferfee.html The updated Fee Schedule is available at: https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html Please review the Fee Schedule FAQ for details on the Resource Transfer fee change: https://www.arin.net/fees/faq_fee_schedule.html If you have additional questions, please contact ARIN Financial Services via Ask ARIN, while logged into your ARIN Online account.

This record should make it easier to determine whether email that you receive claiming to be from ARIN is legitimate. We have fully accounted for all sources of arin.net mail, over both IPv4 and IPv6, however there is a small chance that an email provider will still reject legitimate ARIN email. If you suspect that you are not receiving mail from ARIN, or if you do not receive an anticipated email from us please contact us by email with an alternative email account at hostmaster at arin.net or call the Registration Services help desk at +1.703.227.0660. In order to assist you, we will need to know your email provider, the email address that you believe is not receiving arin.net email, and an alternative way for us to reach you.

Full release notes are included below this message. All ARIN systems have been restored and are now operating normally. We thank you for your patience. Please send any questions, comments, or issues to hostmaster at arin.net. Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technology Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) Release Notes: Changes have been made to the way that Voting Contacts are managed in ARIN Online. * They are no longer recorded as Points of Contact in the ARIN database. * Voting privileges for an organization are now directly associated with an ARIN Online user account. * The Admin POC or Tech POC for an organization has the ability to appoint an existing ARIN Online user as the Voting Contact or modify a Voting Contact. The View & Manage Network, Modify Network, Point of Contact Records, Organization Identifiers, and Organization Record pages have been redesigned with new sections, buttons, and navigation items. Updates include the following changes: * Voting Contact information, if it exists for an organization, is now displayed in its own section on the Organization Record page and can be viewed by Admin POCs, Tech POCs, and Voting Contacts. * The possible actions that can be taken for an Org (such as modify an Org, request resources, and manage Voting Contacts) are now accessed in the Org Info section under the Actions button on the Organization Record page. * The Point of Contact Records page includes summary information for each POC and provides an easy way to unlink ARIN Online users from a POC record. The processes for creating a new POC record and linking a POC record to an ARIN Online user account have been simplified and streamlined. (ARIN Suggestion 2016.02) POCs that receive emails requesting validation can now verify their information without clicking a link by replying to the email (adding ?CORRECT? in the subject line and leaving the original email in the reply).
