<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The shepherds for the Draft Policy 2017-12: Require POC Validation Upon Reassignment, are making two changes to its text.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">First, the problem statement is being expanded a bit to explain how POCs for reassigned blocks can be assigned without the knowledge of the individuals so assigned under
the present policy.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Second, proposed section 3.8 has been deleted. This is because it is unintentionally misleading
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">because a simple reassignment results in a customer identifier versus an OrgID. There is no contact information contained in a simple reassignment other than
street address that could be used for notification, and thus it does not appear that the proposed NRPM 3.8 policy text is implementable. Even if notification were possible, the “OR postal address” in this section may also cause significant problems for some
companies as many companies have the same name associated with many different locations and there are several locations that have many companies registered there.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

the reassignment/reallocation process, some large ISPs automatically create POCs from their customer’s order form. This process is automated for many ISPs and therefore the resulting POCs are not validated prior to being created in the ARIN Whois database.
This creates unknowing POCs that have no idea what Whois is or even who ARIN is at the time they receive the annual POC validation email. It can also create multiple POCs per email address causing that same person to receive a multitude of POC Validation emails
each year.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
