The Transfer Listing Service is proposed to facilitate the implementation of Section 8.3 of the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM), entitled “Transfers to Specified Recipients”, which allows a party to designate transfer of IPv4 number resources to a specified qualified recipient.<br><br>The proposed Transfer Listing Service is located at <a href="http://www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing.html">www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing.html</a>. It is a hypothetical model to generate discussion; ARIN is specifically interested in receiving feedback on the following:<br><br>1. How long should ARIN offer a Transfer Listing Service and what, if any, conditions should be tied to its availability?<br><br>2. As proposed, there is a usage agreement for participation. Is this a fair and reasonable requirement?<br><br>3. Under what conditions should ARIN disallow or remove either an organization listing or seeking IPv4 address space from the service? For example, if an organization has a Registration Services Agreement<br>(“RSA”) with ARIN and is not current on payments with ARIN, should they be allowed to participate?<br><br>4. Should there be a fee associated with the Transfer Listing Service?<br>If so, on what factors should the fee be based?<br><br>5. Are there any other factors that ARIN should consider in providing this service?<br><br>A Transfer Listing Service will begin operation as soon as possible after the successful completion of this community consultation.<br><br>Comments regarding this proposed Transfer Listing Service can be submitted through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process, available at: <a href="https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html">https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html</a><br><br>Discussion on <a href="mailto:arin-consult@arin.net">arin-consult@arin.net</a> will close on 21 May 2010, at noon EDT.<br><br>ARIN welcomes community-wide participation. Please address any process questions to <a href="mailto:info@arin.net">info@arin.net</a>.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Member Services<br>American Registry for Internet Numbers</div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
