[Martin Hannigan]

Owen — as you and I both know this is way better than status quo. While it
is far from perfect it is good enough to get started.

>> Some ISPs assign individuals to be POCs for reassigned blocks without

>> example, during the reassignment/reallocation process, some large ISPs
>> automatically create POCs from their customer’s order form. This process
>> is automated for many ISPs and therefore the resulting POCs are not
>> validated prior to being created in the ARIN Whois database. This
>> creates unknowing POCs that have no idea what Whois is or even who ARIN
>> is at the time they receive the annual POC validation email. It can also
>> create multiple POCs per email address causing that same person to
>> receive a multitude of POC Validation emails each year.
>>
>> This policy proposal seeks to prevent the situation where a POC is
>> unwittingly and unintentionally inserted into Whois. Doing so will
>> reduce the significant amount of time that ARIN staff spend fielding
>> phone calls from POCs who have no idea they are in Whois.
>>
>> The proposal will improve the overall POC validation situation, by
>> ensuring that all reallocation or detailed reassignment requests are
>> related to a pre-existing receiving organization with at least one valid
>> POC object, and by requesting that any other existing invalid POC
>> objects are validated.
>>
>> Policy statement:
>>
>> Insert one new section into NRPM 3:
>>
>> 3.7 POC Notification and Validation Upon Reassignment or Reallocation
>>
>> When a request for reallocation or detailed reassignment is made to
>> ARIN, the receiving organization must already be in the ARIN database
>> and associated with at least one validated POC object. If there are no
>> validated POC objects associated with the receiving organization, ARIN
>> shall reject the request.
>>
>> In addition to notifying the requester, ARIN will also notify, via
>> email, all POCs associated with the receiving organization, whether the

>> invalid POC objects associated with the receiving organization.
