[arin-announce] RFP for Hosting ARIN DNS Services

[Member Services]

The American Registry for Internet Numbers, ARIN, is seeking Internet 
Co-Location providers to bid to host ARIN equipment and applications 
used in the operation of ARIN's public facing DNS resolution services. 
This service, provided by ARIN, is a critical part of the Internet’s 
infrastructure, and ARIN is seeking proposals from sites located in 
Canada and the Caribbean.

All contractual terms and conditions related to the work performed, 
Non-disclosure of information, or liability issues must be detailed.
ARIN will require that the vendor performing this service sign a 
Non-disclosure agreement due to the proprietary nature of the 
information ARIN retains for its subscribers.

Proposals must be submitted before 16 October 2009 for consideration, 
and must include a statement of work, full pricing details, and references.
We anticipate vendor selection by 30 October with deployment no later 
than 90 days after the contract is awarded.
