Draft Policy ARIN-2024-10: Registration Requirements and Timing of Requirements With Retirement of Section 4.2.3.7.2

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. 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 remind ISPs of the importance of registration when feasible for the benefit of the community.

Policy Statement:

REPLACE: Section 4.2.3.7.1

Original Text:

“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.”

New Text:

“Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more addresses shall be registered via a directory services system which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2, within 14 days.”

RETIRE: Section 4.2.3.7.2 - Reassignments and Reallocations Visible Within Seven Days

RENAME: 6.5.5.1 from “Reassignment Information” to “Reassignment and Reallocation Information”.

Timetable:  Immediate

Comments: This is an iteration of abandoned policy ARIN-2023-4. Due to substantial changes in the problem statement, it was preferred to abandon that policy and resubmit, as opposed to modifying the policy during its PDP cycle.
