This policy provides for the allocation of IPv6 address space from ICANN to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

Message-ID: <4509F213.3010808@arin.net> Hello Jeroen- Thank you for your suggestions. The ppml is generally used to provide community input into the ARIN policy process, but your question is certainly welcome. (See http://www.arin.net/policy/irpep.html for further information on the ARIN policy development process). You have essentially made a two fold request; modify the ARIN WHOIS so that it accepts queries by CIDR prefix and integrate the ARIN Routing Registry into the ARIN Internet number resource registry (WHOIS). We plan to do an integration of the routing registry and WHOIS in 2007 so that the appropriate number resource registration information is accurately produced when a query is made to the RR. Thus, queries to the WHOIS will return the registration information as it currently does, and queries to the RR will return routing policy information as it currently does. However, a query to the WHOIS will not return routing policy information and a query to the RR will not return all of the details of the number resource registration data. With regard to changing the WHOIS so that it accepts queries by CIDR prefix, we will have to look into this and get back to you. We thank you for your input.
