Please keep all feedback POSITIVE. If you can't provide positive feedback, but would like to see changes made; then suggest them in a positive manner; no need to be derogatory. The tools that ARIN uses to produce this site are of their concern; not ours. They don't tell use what routers/swithes to use to do our jobs; why should we tell them how to do theirs. As members we should only be interested in the functionality of the site; not the design, layout or aesthetics. I for one like the new format and the new logo. Keep up the good work folks. Comments: Would be great for the site to auto-detect the browser type and then switch to a graphicsal/non-graphical view depending on lynx, Netscape, IE etc.. -- Trevor Paquette |TeraGo Networks Inc. |Work:(403)668-5321 Trevor.Paquette at TeraGo.ca|300, 300 Manning Rd NE|Cell:(403)703-8738 Lead Systems Architect |Calgary, AB, Canada |Main:(403)668-5300 http://www.terago.ca | T2E 4K8 | Fax:(403)668-5344 From jlewis at lewis.org Wed Apr 3 22:43:45 2002 From: jlewis at lewis.org (jlewis at lewis.org) Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 22:43:45 -0500 (EST) Subject: ARIN Releases New Website In-Reply-To: <003a01c1db4c$a1c95bd0$3102a8c0@teraint.net> Message-ID: On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Trevor Paquette wrote: > The tools that ARIN uses to produce this site are of their concern; > not ours.

As members we should As dues paying members, I think it is our business how ARIN runs their shop. Try telling ARIN in your next IP request that you need gobs of IP space because you just bought a whole bunch of surplus routers that don't understand classless routing...i.e. you can't subnet.

No. Your taxes go to pay doctors and nurses in hospitals.. do you get the right to tell them how to operate, perform an MRI, what needles to use to give drugs? No. If you work for a company that has an shareholders, do those shareholders get a direct say in the type of editor you should use to do your job? No. The point here is that as members we do have the right to set general direction and policy for ARIN; we have entrusted ARIN to enact those policies in the manner that they see fit. We should not care about how they get there; just that they do get there; within the budgets that they have set out. As long at they are within those budgets, we should be happy with their performance and the results. ARIN has hired the folks whom they believe are best suited to get the job done; we as members should trust those decisions. If you truly feel that members should have a direct say in the tools and methods that ARIN should be using, then bring it up at the next ARIN general meeting as a point of policy; I'll bet lunch that you will be in the vast minority. -- Trevor Paquette |TeraGo Networks Inc. |Work:(403)668-5321 Trevor.Paquette at TeraGo.ca|300, 300 Manning Rd NE|Cell:(403)703-8738 Lead Systems Architect |Calgary, AB, Canada |Main:(403)668-5300 http://www.terago.ca | T2E 4K8 | Fax:(403)668-5344 > -----Original Message----- > From: jlewis at lewis.org [mailto:jlewis at lewis.org] > Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 8:44 PM > To: Trevor Paquette > Cc: ppml at arin.net > Subject: RE: ARIN Releases New Website > > > On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Trevor Paquette wrote: > > > The tools that ARIN uses to produce this site are of their concern; > > not ours.

There is now a draft contract that, if executed, would represent agreement between the RIRs and ICANN on matters of roles, responsibilities and procedures relating to Internet address management and global address management policies. This contract would further codify, or formalize, the existing working relationship between the RIRs and ICANN which is set forth in the ASO MoU. Pending the final approval of RIR and ICANN boards, and the satisfactory development of the ICANN reform process, the RIRs believe that this document could be signed. To facilitate input from the RIRs' communities, the draft document is available at: http://www.arin.net/library/internet_info/RIR-Contract.pdf. Comments are invited until Friday, 31 May 2002, 23:59 UTC. (7:59 PM EDT) This discussion will take place on the public policy mailing list (ppml at arin.net).

These allocations will be no longer than a /24 using IPv4 or a /48 using IPv6. Multiple allocations may be granted in certain situations.

The compromise is that these allocations be made from a specific block so that individual ISPs can make the decision whether or not to filter this block. However, it is still important for the community to understand the implication of filtering exchange allocations. I had suggested that CLEW would include a blurb on this matter in some sort of best-practices manual. I invite the community to contribute to this effort on the CLEW mailing list by suggesting the pros and cons of routing exchange allocation. http://www.arin.net/policy/wrkgroups.html#clew (One thing I am wondering about is what is scope of the problem if all the exchange allocations are in the routing table. Just how many blocks have already been assigned? And what kind of growth are we talking about?) As a public exchange provider, Equinix will be re-evaluating our requirement that our Exchange participants *not* announce the Exchange IPs to their peers. Since this policy came about, in part, because of ARIN's policy, we will re-examine our policy if Policy 2001-3 is ratified.

Plzak President American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** Last Call - Policy Proposal 2001-4 *** The three RIRs have compiled the proposal document dated December 22, 2001, version 2001-12-22 using feedback received from the RIR communities since the publishing of the provisional IPv6 document in 1999. In the interest of maintaining IPv6 policies that are global in scope, ARIN accepts the document with language on initial allocations modified during APNIC 13 and ARIN IX Public Policy Meetings as interim policy with the following specific exceptions: * Use the concept of license instead of lease. * There is no implied guarantee of routability. The language pertaining to subsequent allocations does not have consensus, but is not deemed imminently applicable.
