[arin-ppml] Potentially black listed space

[Chris Woodfield]

I feel that pledging a “warranty” of sorts for allocated space is well beyond ARIN’s capabilities - ARIN doesn’t control routing, or blacklists, and has never shown any interest in having that control. At best, ARIN staff can make a best-effort attempt to alert upstream providers and blacklist operators that a specific block has been reclaimed and will be allocated to a new owner, but whether or not to act on that information is entirely out of ARIN’s hands. 

I’d be curious how many blacklist operators make use of the arin-issued data to remove reclaimed space from their lists? And has ARIN engaged in any outreach to blacklist operators on this data source?

The ARIN staff  is very careful to make sure that any reissued space is not routed so as to cause some unaware 3rd party problems with their business as well as the new holder.  ARIN also aims to avoid providing space that appears on block lists and is diligent in researching these issues.
