[arin-announce] Consultation on Reallocation Control Features

[ARIN]

ARIN is seeking feedback from the community (https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/consultations/2024/2024-6/) on a suggested feature that would allow customers to manage the ability to control reallocations to their Organization (Org IDs) to protect against bad actors and reputational damage. We are seeking community input on the specific functionality and the priority that should be placed on developing this feature.

ARIN can add a feature in the Organization record management section of ARIN Online that will allow customers the ability to manage reallocations to individual Org IDs. This feature would only be manageable via ARIN Online but would apply to reallocations to specified Org IDs using either ARIN Online or programmatically with our Registration RESTful Service (Reg-RWS).

Additional questions for community consideration are:

- If someone attempts to reallocate to an Org ID that does not have reallocation enabled, should they receive a notification that the organization does not accept reallocations?
- Should the customer be notified of attempts to reallocate resources to their Org ID when reallocations are not enabled?
- What priority should be placed on the development of this feature?

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

This consultation will remain open until 5:00 PM ET on 30 October. ARIN seeks clear direction through community input, so your feedback is important.

Thank you for your continued support to improve ARIN’s services.

Regards,

John Curran
President and CEO
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
