[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Reallocation Control Features

[Chris Woodfield]

I’m now wondering how many of these incidents might have been mitigated with just a notification mechanism that fires on a reallocation event?

If we chose this route, I’d argue that an email notification of a new reallocation being assigned to an org should be a default. Orgs can then flip a switch if they choose to decide whether they want to be able to block them until they can confirm acceptance of the reallocation.

It doesn't require the receiver to pre-configure anything, provides notification of the attempt, allows the receiver to allow or deny, and notifies the sender of success or failure.  It might be worth adding an option to turn off the notifications in the event someone figures out how to turn them into spam.

Easier for users to understand, easier to explain, etc. I'm imagining that most orgs which are reallocating are probably used to the process, but for orgs receiving reallocations, it may be their first time. My experience with IRR has taught me that explaining to a customer who is trying to buy a service from you that they have to perform a process with which they are unfamiliar is difficult and painful.
