Staff had reached out to the WG stating larger organizations needed a little more time to get their registrations in as they had a larger number of customers and could sometimes get backlogged. Since I'm from a large organization, I want to clarify that we were not one of the requesters of this, however, I do know it was an issue of others who were trying to stay compliant with ARIN but potentially had some sort of system/network issue and got backed up. The 14 days was to give them a little extra time to get their registrations in.

I have no particular issue with the draft proposal.

However, is there an explanation of the rationale behind the 14 days. I understand the harmonisation between v4 and v6, but why move up to 14 days rather than moving both to 7?

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 an approved directory services system which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2, within fourteen calendar 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”.

REPLACE: 6.5.5.1

Original Text:
”Each static IPv6 reassignment or reallocation containing a /47 or more addresses, or subdelegation of any size that will be individually 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.”

New Text:
”Each static IPv6 reassignment or reallocation containing a /47 or more addresses, or subdelegation of any size that will be individually announced, shall be registered via an approved directory services system 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.”

RENAME: 6.5.5.2 from “Reassignments and Reallocations Visible Within Seven Days” to “Reassignments and Reallocations Visible Within Fourteen Days”

REPLACE: Section 6.5.5.2

Original Text:

“All reassignments and reallocations shall be made visible as required in section 6.5.5.1 within seven calendar days of reassignment or reallocation.”

New Text:

“All reassignments and reallocations shall be made visible as required in section 6.5.5.1 within fourteen calendar days of reassignment or reallocation.

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
