[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2018-5: Disallow Third-party Organization Record Creation

[Adam Thompson]

I wasn't lurking here during the initial discussion, so I'm sure I'm missing some of the broader implications.  However, considering the pain I'm going through right now because of this very problem, I think this is a good idea.  Many ISPs are not exactly prompt about removing delegations after they're no longer valid, and this should mitigate the effect of that on the customer (i.e. me).

Draft Policy ARIN-2018-5: Disallow Third-party Organization Record Creation

Problem Statement:

Since the introduction of simple-reassignment some years ago, it is no
longer necessary to allow for third-parties (such as upstream ISPs) to
create organization records for another entity (such as their
customers).  In particular, many entities find that spurious
organization records are routinely created in their name, causing both
confusion and entity + staff time for clean-up.

Therefore, this policy establishes that organization records shall be
created only by the entity represented by the organization record, and
should be created only through an explicit request to ARIN.  ISPs
wishing to reassign space to customers should either ask the customer
for their ORG-ID or shall use the "simple reassignment" method which
does not require nor create new organization records.  ISPs wishing to
reallocate space to customers should ask the customer for their ORG-ID.

Policy Statement:

Add new section(s) into the NRPM:

3.X Directory Service Records

3.X.1 Organization Record Creation

New organization records shall be created upon ARIN receiving a request
directly from an authorized contact representing an entity that ARIN is
able to validate.  Organization records shall not be created upon the
request of third-parties.

Comments:

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
