Policy Proposal Name: Bulk WHOIS agreement expiration clarification
Author: Bill Woodcock
Proposal Version: 1.1
Proposal type: Modify
Policy term: Permanent
Policy statement:
Text added to the end of "3.1. Bulk Copies of ARIN's WHOIS":
If no term of validity or expiration date is included in the policy or
AUP, it shall be deemed valid upon acceptance by ARIN and shall conclude
after thirty days notice by ARIN, immediately upon cancellation by the
other signatory, or immediately upon a violation of its terms. If an
expiration date is included, ARIN shall provide thirty days notice prior
to the expiration of an AUP agreement, in order that the data recipient
shall have the opportunity to receive uninterrupted service. ARIN shall
deliver notices to the other signatory by, at a minimum, email to an
administrative and a technical contact email address supplied by the
signatory.
Rationale:
Presently, there is no expiration date specified in the AUP agreement or
in the policy. In practice, ARIN presently expires bulk WHOIS agreements
after one year, but this expiration practice appears to be informal and
undocumented. Likewise, in practice, notice of expiration is presently
sent to the email address from which the original application was
received, notwithstanding that this is unlikely to be the appropriate role
account for the purpose. There is presently no formal schedule for
expiration, and no formal notification mechanism for expiration or
violations. This policy attempts to formalize these processes.
Timetable for implementation: Immediate.
