Draft Policy ARIN-2023-4: Modernization of Registration Requirements

 

Problem Statement:

 

Registration is central to the value provided by ARIN to the

community. Registry quality depends greatly upon the timely

registration of reassignments from ISPs to end users. The motivation

for registration has waned since the depletion of the free pool. At

the same time, privacy laws have been introduced in many jurisdictions

across ARIN’s service region which constrain registration in certain

cases. This combination of forces has generally discouraged many ISPs

from registering reassignments. Registration remains vital to a number

of stakeholders, including law enforcement and network operators.

 

This proposal aims to modernize the registration-related policies in

Section 4 by introducing language that is meant to make registration

requirements more adaptable to changing privacy laws, while reminding

ISPs of the importance of registration when feasible for the benefit

of the community.

 

Policy Statement:

 

In section 4.2.3.7.1,

Replace

"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more

addresses shall be registered via SWIP or a directory services system

which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2."

With

"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more

addresses shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a

directory services system which meets the standards set forth in

section 3.2, in a timely manner, to the extent permitted and manner

provided by applicable law."

announced, shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a

distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section

3.2. Reassignment and reallocation registrations shall include each

client’s organizational information, except where specifically

exempted by this policy."
