[arin-announce] UPDATE - Consultation on Reallocation Control Features

[ARIN]

On 6 November we shared the planned path forward to develop a feature to give customers control of the ability to allow reallocations to their Org ID. Initially, we planned to deploy with the default value of “off”, which would require customers to explicitly enable this feature to continue to receive reallocations.

A new review of user data revealed that 255,535 of the 421,022 Org IDs (60.7%) have more than one reallocation/detailed reassignment. Because most users would need to manually reenable reallocations, we are changing our plan so that the reallocation feature default value of “on” which will allow reallocations/detailed reassignments. Customers will have the ability to switch this feature on and off as needed in the course of business.
