[arin-announce] ARIN Chantilly Office – Increased COVID-19 Response Status

[ARIN]

As I am sure you are all aware, we face a rapidly evolving COVID-19 
situation in the United States, and we at ARIN have taken specific steps 
to protect our employees and our local community.

In light of the potential for community transmission, ARIN’s 
headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia remain open, but all employees have 
the option to either work at the office or to work from home. While we 
previously increased our cleaning and disinfection practices, we are 
encouraging employees living in households with older adults and those 
with chronic medical conditions to work from home.

We have also transitioned to the use of remote participation tools for 
most meetings and are holding in-person meetings only when essential. 
All non-essential gatherings at the Chantilly office have been 
cancelled. All non-essential ARIN travel has been cancelled, and those 
who must travel are being asked to work from home and self-monitor away 
from the Chantilly office for a period of 14 days following the end of 
their trip.

We do not anticipate any impact to our services as a result of these 
changes, and encourage everyone in the ARIN community to be safe in 
these challenging times.


  Sincerely,


  John Curran
