Subject: [ARIN-consult] Community Consultation Extended for WhoWas Service
Message-ID: <4F04797C.50601@arin.net>

ARIN will continue to collect community input via community consultation
in conjunction with the WhoWas service trial until the production system
is deployed.

In addition to the information we have received from the trial, there
remain a number of questions that ARIN has posed to the community to
allow for us to get a better understanding of how WhoWas would be used
as a production service.

Community feedback is a vital component to the development of the WhoWas
service, and will have a direct impact on decisions regarding the scope
and use of this project. If you have an interest in this service and its
future development please respond to the following question via email to
arin-consult at arin.net:

*  Why do you want access to WhoWas information and how do you plan to
use it?
*  How often do you think you would use the WhoWas service?
*  What information would you expect to receive in response to a WhoWas
request?
*  Would a restful interface be useful for you to automate history requests?
*  Do you have any concerns about the Terms of Use for the WhoWas
trial?  Are there any items in it that are blockers for you as a
potential user of this service?

Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation Open - Revised ARIN Consultation and
	Suggestion Process
Message-ID: <4F0F11BD.7050202@arin.net>

ARIN Community,

Based on over five years experience with 170 suggestions, ARIN proposes 
changes to the suggestion process found as Part B of the ARIN 
Consultation and Suggestion Process (ACSP).
The current process is documented at: 
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html

The proposed changes, available at: 
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/community_consult/revised_acsp_draft.pdf, 
involve only Part B. The Suggestion Process.  The primary change calls 
for queuing of all suggestions determined by staff to have merit (that 
can not be implemented quickly) until each ARIN Public Policy and 
Members Meeting. Two weeks in advance of each meeting the community will 
be asked, via a mailing list and/or survey, to discuss the merits of 
each suggestion and to rank them in order of desired implementation.  
ARIN believes this is a more transparent and equitable way to broaden 
community involvement in suggestions.  This approach will aid ARIN in 
scheduling for implementations to coincide with ongoing strategic 
objectives.

The community's constructive thoughts on the revised ACSP are welcome 
during this thirty-day review period.

Discussion on arin-consult at arin.net will close on 10 February 2012.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info at arin.net.

This sounds like a good improvement to the suggestion process.
