[arin-announce] ACSP Consultation: Open Suggestion Review and Project Prioritization Survey

[ARIN]

During the next two weeks in preparation for ARIN 31, we are asking you
to review the active suggestions received since the last ARIN meeting in
Dallas, TX.  We are asking you to review the two active suggestions
listed below and:

1.    Comment on the merits of each - (eg. Worth doing, not worth the
effort, must have, etc.)
2.    For those you think have merit, rank them in your desired order of
potential implementation.

We have provided a high-level staff assessment of perceived level of
implementation effort for each suggestion. Be sure to read the more
detailed notes at the url for each suggestion listed:

*   2013.5 Provide WHOIS-RWS results in JSONP For Ease of 3rd-Part
Application Development
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-5.html
Estimated staff effort to implement: $21,000 in engineering costs, plus
communications efforts.

*   2013.4 Change Whois output for certain /8 records
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2013-4.html
Estimated staff effort to implement: $26,000 in engineering costs, plus
communications efforts.

There will be a discussion period about these suggestions during the
ARIN 31 Public Policy and Members Meeting. Within 30 days after the
meeting, ARIN staff will publish the prioritized list of suggestions,
noting any closed because the community found them to lack merit.

Please provide comments to arin-consult at arin.net. You can subscribe to
this mailing list at:
http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult.

Discussion on arin-consult at arin.net will close on 30 April 2013. If you
have any questions, please contact us at info at arin.net.

In addition, ARIN maintains a list of community and internal
recommendations for new services and improvements. To gather additional
community input on future upgrades and services, ARIN will hold a
session to go over a list of both prioritized projects awaiting
implementation and projects awaiting prioritization at ARIN 31. You can
view a listing of these items at: https://www.arin.net/features/

The information gleaned from this community feedback session will be
used as feedback for ARIN management to help prioritize future work. In
addition to input gathered at the ARIN meeting, we have a survey
available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Project_Prioritization_ARIN_31

The survey will remain open until 30 April, and we are eager to hear
from you! We look forward to hearing your thoughts as we set future
development and service priorities.
