The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-26.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * Our automated systems recently attempted to pass "N/" as a "State" field for a registration to a London, UK address. The API returned a 500 error, E_UNSPECIFIED, rather than returning 400/E_ENTITY_VALIDATION, or something more explanatory. This temporarily led us to believe it was a problem with the service rather than a problem with the data. *Response:* Your suggestion has been redirected to ARIN's technical discussion list as we believe your issue fits more appropriately in this forum. Please subscribe to arin-tech-discuss at arin.net as found on: https://www.arin.net/participate/mailing_lists/index.html This suggestion is now closed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-21.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * ARIN should publish online, a list of all engineering projects. Items should be ranked according to prioritization, along with their estimated cost, expected implementation date and any other milestones/status. Items that have not yet been prioritized should be displayed at the bottom of the list with an annotation that it has been accepted but not scheduled. There is no public place where the community can see what features ARIN engineering is working on and when to expect them. There are many items in the ARIN suggestion box that have been in approved and prioritized but remain in limbo for several years. There is a public list of items that have not yet been prioritized (https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd) Some of these items have been in unprioritized state for over a year. ARIN probably has their own internal list of features beyond those requested by the community. The community should be able to see the full slate of features being worked and hold ARIN accountable to quarterly or semi-annual deliverables. This table will be updated quarterly, or more frequently if updates are available. All unreasonable / unfeasible requests will recorded, and a detailed explanation of why they are unreasonable and/or unfeasible will be published. *Response:* Thanks for your suggestion, numbered 2013.21 upon receipt, regarding ARIN engineering project information. Based on your suggestion and related dialogue at the ARIN meeting in Phoenix, we will be implementing some changes to how we communicate project status. On the https://www.arin.net/features/ webpage, specifically for any prioritized project yet implemented, we will indicate the anticipated completion quarter based on the annual ARIN operating plan as approved by the ARIN Board. Additionally, ARIN will provide public updates on any projects if the completion schedule appears to be in jeopardy. We will implement these change following Board approval of the 2014-2015 Strategic Plan, budget, and operating plan. This suggestion is now closed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestions are provided below. ARIN will issue an initial response within 10 business days. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) *** *Suggestion 2013.27: POC VALIDATION MESSAGING DESTINATION* https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-27.html POC validation should be sent to my actual email address, not some "message center" thing I never see inside ARIN online. *Suggestion 2013.28: POC VALIDATION MESSAGE REMOVAL UPON VALIDATION* https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-28.html POC Validation Messages on my ARIN Online "Message Center" should be removed automatically once the POC is validated. This is especially true in the case of a role POC where it is likely that person A will have validated the contact long before person B even logs into ARIN online to see the message sitting in their inbox. The presence of a "Message Waiting" flag upon logging into ARIN online creates an unnecessary duplication of effort across all of the representatives attached to the role POC because each one has to go in and check the message, then check that the POC has been validated. * **Suggestion 2013.29: IMPROVE ARIN ONLINE FORM TIME-OUT BEHAVIOR* https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-29.html Bug Report: Timed-out ticket forms are not graceful. To reproduce: Log into ARIN Online Track Tickets Select an open ticket and bring up its details. Walk away from the browser long enough for the session to time out. Come back, the ticket is still on the screen and no asynchronous notification of the session timeout is presented. Not realizing that the session has timed out, enter comments for the ticket into the text box and press submit. Expected result: A) The comments are accepted and then I am logged out of the ticket system for inactivity, or, B) the comments are buffered and I must log into ARIN online again to validate their submission Actual result: I am dumped back to the logged-out state, all of my text is lost, and I have to log in, find the ticket, and retype my comments from scratch. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion remains open and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-22.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * With the new restful services now available to organizations, perhaps now is the time to consider sun-setting the old rwhois support. This is not a request for ARIN to immediately remove support for rwhois but a request for ARIN to engage the community to determine if a timeline should be set to deprecate support for rwhois. *Response:* Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2013.22 - Sunsetting of rwhois support. A new protocol called RDAP is being created within the IETF by the WEIRDS Working Group. RDAP is envisioned to replace Rwhois services. Once the standard is finalized, ARIN will work on the following two activities: 1) Make ARIN's existing RESTful directory Service compliant with the RDAP IETF standard. 2) If there is community demand, ARIN will create a public domain implementation of a stand-alone RDAP server. This package can then be used as a replacement of Rwhois for those ISPS that currently run Rwhois. Additionally, some policy action and/or community consultation will need to be completed to RWhois with this new emerging RDAP standard. Thank you for participating in the ARIN suggestion process and note that we will leave this suggestion open until we can begin work on the activities described above. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
