[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-126: Compliance Requirement

[Scott Leibrand]

It seems there's some confusion about what is new in this proposal, and what
already exists in the NRPM.

For context, here is what existing policy *already* reads (
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#twelve):

12.4  Organizations found by ARIN to be materially out of compliance with
current ARIN policy shall be requested or required to return resources as
needed to bring them into (or reasonably close to) compliance.
<snip>

12.5  If the organization does not voluntarily return resources as
requested, ARIN may revoke any resources issued by ARIN as required to bring
the organization into overall compliance. ARIN shall follow the same
guidelines for revocation that are required for voluntary return in the
previous paragraph.

12.6  Except in cases of fraud, or violations of policy, an organization
shall be given a minimum of six months to effect a return. ARIN shall
negotiate a longer term with the organization if ARIN believes the
organization is working in good faith to substantially restore compliance
and has a valid need for additional time to renumber out of the affected
blocks.

This proposal simply adds/updates the *bold* text:

12.4 Update to:
Organizations found by ARIN to be materially out of compliance with
current ARIN policy shall be requested or required to return resources
*or update reassignment information* as needed to bring them into (or
reasonably close to) compliance.

12.5 Update to:
If the organization does not voluntarily return resources* or update
reassignment information *as requested, ARIN *will cease providing reverse
DNS services and/or *revoke any resources issued by ARIN as required to
bring the organization into overall compliance. ARIN shall follow the
same guidelines for revocation that are required for voluntary return in
the previous paragraph.

12.6 Update to:
Except in cases of fraud, or violations of policy, an organization shall
be given a minimum *(30) days to respond. Progress of record(s)
correction(s) must be visible within (60) days after correspondence with
ARIN began or ARIN will start proceeding with removal of DNS services
and/or resources issued by ARIN.* ARIN shall negotiate a longer term
with the organization if ARIN believes the organization is working in
good faith to substantially restore compliance and has a valid need for
additional time to renumber out of the affected blocks.
