Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on Retiring Email Templates
Message-ID: <22A12BC8-EFDD-4C71-8527-B5FAF2A88DFD@arin.net>

The system used for managing email templates, also known as the template processor, is used for the Shared Whois Project (SWIP) (https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/#swip). This allows ARIN customers who reallocate or reassign resources to their own customers to report data to ARIN about these transactions to ensure that ARIN?s registry database is accurate and up to date. Currently, customers can report reassignment/reallocation data by using email templates, ARIN Reg-RWS, or ARIN Online. Specifically, the template processor is used to submit modifications for Organization, Points of Contact, and Network records.

Because there are other, more modern options available to manage the reporting of reassignments and reallocations, as well as the other email template functions, and due to the cost to ARIN and our customers of keeping the older, email-based templating system alive, we intend to retire email templates.

Staff conducted analysis of email SWIP template usage and determined that this change will impact less that 75 organizations, and we will be working with these customers directly to guide them through this transition.

We recognize that this presents a meaningful change for users, and ARIN has completed two major improvements to ease the impact prior to retiring the template processor:

- Published an open-source template processor (https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/ostp/) on 31 October 2023 that can convert email templates to REST calls that can be consumed by Reg-RWS. This service will be a self-contained product that customers may run within their network to process templates. This is meant as a stopgap solution and, once released, will not be maintained. If customers wish to use this product beyond its initial release, they will be able to fork the repository and maintain it as their needs require.
- Deployed updates to ARIN Online on 7 August 2023 to provide feature parity with the existing template processor for reassignments.

ARIN is targeting 3 June 2024 for the retirement of the template processor. The feedback you provide during this consultation (https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/consultations/2023/2023-5/) will help inform decisions about the timing of email templates. Thank you for your participation in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process.?

Please retire the templates it?s time to deprecate this method for database changes.

I still use this. Presumably I (OrgID WIKSTR-1) show in your list of 
organizations.

Feel free to kill it. I can (and will) move to the API interface. It's 
just a matter of figuring it out and doing the work. I just haven't been 
forced to, so it remains low on the priority list. I'm small; I don't 
SWIP that many things.

Given the inherent insecurity of SMTP, I?m always a bit surprised when I?m reminded that email templates are still supported. 100% in support of sunsetting the service. The template-to-REST processor I?m sure will be appreciated by those who are still dependent on it.

Thanks,

Given that you've provided plug-in software for the folks who built
automation around the email templates that should make adapting that
automation relatively straightforward, I favor sunsetting the service.
I'd like to see some comments from folks who would end up using it to
the effect that it would/wouldn't work for them though.

Regards,
Bill Herrin

Hello John,

?
Thank you for your notice, I happy to inform you that we are moving away from email templates fully in the next week, so we are fine with this timeline of retiring email templates.

?

Subject: Notice of ARIN Email Template Retirement Plans

?
Greetings,

?
In the coming months, ARIN is planning to retire its template processor. We have identified your organization as a customer who uses email templates to report reassignment and reallocation information to ARIN. 

?
We recognize this will require a change for your organization, and we are interested in your feedback regarding the timing of this change. We are currently holding a community consultation on retiring email templates until 1 December 2023, please provide your comments to arin-consult at arin.net <mailto:arin-consult at arin.net> . You can subscribe to this mailing list at: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult <http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult> . 

?
We have several options available to you to replace your current method of submitting reassignment information. If you are interested in a new way to report information back to ARIN, we encourage you and your organization to learn more about ARIN's Reg-RWS service, which is a secure and efficient method of interacting with ARIN's database. 

?
Reg-RWS: https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/regrws/ <https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/regrws/> 

?
You may also use your ARIN Online account to report this information to ARIN. You may find instructions on how to complete this task using the following link: https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/#reporting-reassignments-using-arin-online <https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/#reporting-reassignments-using-arin-online> 

?
If your organization is unable to utilize Reg-RWS or ARIN Online, or if you would prefer to continue using email templates, ARIN has provided an open-source template processor that customers may run within their network. This software will convert and submit email templates to REST calls that can be consumed by Reg-RWS. This open-source template processor was released on Github on 1 November 2023, and it will not be maintained by ARIN after this date. If you wish to use this product beyond its initial release. To learn more please visit: https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/ostp/ <https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/ostp/> 

?
If you have any questions about the retirement of email templates or would like more information on Reg-RWS or using ARIN Online for reporting information to ARIN, please email us at info at arin.net <mailto:info at arin.net> .

?
Thank you for being an ARIN customer.

?
Regards,

?

OrgID MIDCO-1 is one of the current users of the email templates for SWIPping.  I stated asking internally about migration during ARIN52 and believe I now have commitment from the appropriate resources to implement a move from email templates before 4-Jun-2024.

Some things that might be useful between now and June 2024:
	- 1 or 2 OT&E / Reg webinars
	- Additional communication directly to any users of email templates in the last 3-6 months
	- Communication with IPAM vendors

One thing that I am curious about is whether ARIN reached out directly to anyone at MIDCO-1 about the transition.  If so, contact information for the OrgID may need to be updated.

Probably close enough but "1 or 2 OT&E / Reg webinars" should be "1 or 2 OT&E / Reg-RWS webinars" below.
(not sure why that happened.)

> Some things that might be useful between now and June 2024:
>        - 1 or 2 OT&E / Reg webinars
>        - Additional communication directly to any users of email templates in the last 3-6 months
>        - Communication with IPAM vendors
> 
> One thing that I am curious about is whether ARIN reached out directly to anyone at MIDCO-1 about the transition.  If so, contact information for the OrgID may need to be updated.
