ARIN is seeking community input regarding the availability of ARIN
services to invalid Points of Contact (POCs) identified by ARIN's POC
Validation Process. Please refer to Number Resource Policy Manual
section 3.6 Annual Whois POC Validation for background,
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#three6.
Based on feedback expressed at the recent ARIN Public Policy and Member
Meeting in Atlanta as well as the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML),
ARIN is considering implementing changes to the services available to
Invalid POCs. These changes are intended to further improve the accuracy
of POC data in ARIN's Whois by requiring users to validate their invalid
POCs prior to requesting services and database changes.
The proposed changes limit services to users linked to Invalid POCs in
the following manner:
• ARIN Online users would only have access to POC validation and
modification features until they validate any non-validated POCs to
which they are linked. Once validated, an ARIN Online user would have
access to all available ARIN Online functionality.
• Any service requests made through ARIN’s RESTful Provisioning Service,
https://www.arin.net/resources/restful-interfaces.html, would be
returned with a message directing users to validate their associated POC
information through ARIN Online.
• Template submissions for POC, organization, network modifications, v4
simple reassignments, v4 detailed reassignments, v4 reallocations, v6
detailed reassignments and v6 reallocation requests would be returned
with a message directing users to validate their associated POC
information through ARIN Online.
• Templates requesting resources directly from ARIN (v4 ISP request, v4
End-User request, v6 ISP request, v6 End-User request, ASN,
experimental), or requesting resource transfers or ASN modifications
would be accepted and ticketed, however, they will not be processed if
the POC is invalid. ARIN staff would notify submitters via email to
validate their associated POC information through ARIN Online.
• Other services and/or functionality may be added in this change of
service at ARIN's discretion.
This change in service will be implemented in early-to-mid 2011 if
supported by the community.
Comments regarding this proposed service change for Invalid POCs can be
submitted through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process,
available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html.
Discussion on arin-consult at arin.net will close on 15 December 2010, at
Noon EST.
ARIN welcomes community-wide participation. Please address any process
questions to info at arin.net.
