Can you define voluntary?<br>

Is the voluntary choice to record a reassignment<br>

Or does the choice belong to the end-user?<br>

I think that's a business decision the two parties make together. I think an ISP can choose to SWIP whatever it wants, and should do so with the consent of the end-user. I think an end-user should be able to demand a SWIP entry, and the ISP should generally comply.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And if the ISP doesn't comply with the user's demand, can one of their recourses be to appeal to ARIN? Obviously, in a healthy market another, and maybe more effective, option is to get another ISP. However, not all markets are healthy and too frequently users have only one realistic option for an ISP, especially in rural areas. </div><div><br></div><div>I think it is important that if a user requests a SWIP from an ISP, and they not given the SWIP, this should be at very least a technical violation of ARIN policy. Is ARIN going to revoke an ISP's address space because of a single complaint from a user in this regard, of course not, but I would expect ARIN to intercede with an ISP on behalf of the user. However, if there are repeated issues, especially large numbers of them, and if there are other policy violations too, then I would expect harsher actions by ARIN eventually. </div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">===============================================<br>David Farmer <a href="mailto:Email%3Afarmer@umn.edu" target="_blank">Email:farmer@umn.edu</a><br>Networking & Telecommunication Services<br>Office of Information Technology<br>University of Minnesota <br>2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815<br>Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952<br>=============================================== </div>
