                  class="">
                <br class="">
                AC Assessment of Conformance with the Principles of
                Internet Number Resource Policy:<br class="">
                <br class="">
                This recommended draft policy: (1) enables fair and
                impartial number administration as it ensures that ARIN
                has the means to communicate with organizations
                receiving reallocations or detailed reassignments, and
                does so in a clear, complete, concise and unambiguous
                manner; (2) is technically sound in that it supports
                ARIN’s ability to maintain the unique registration of
                Internet number resources; and (3) has community
                support.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Problem Statement:<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Some ISPs assign individuals to be POCs for reassigned
                blocks without consultation of the individual they are
                inserting into Whois. For example, during 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.<br
                  class="">
                <br class="">
                This policy proposal seeks to prevent the situation
                where a POC is unwittingly and unintentionally inserted
                into Whois. Doing so will reduce the significant amount
                of time that ARIN staff spend fielding phone calls from
                POCs who have no idea they are in Whois.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                The proposal will improve the overall POC validation
                situation, by ensuring that all reallocation or detailed
                reassignment requests are related to a pre-existing
                receiving organization with at least one valid POC
                object, and by requesting that any other existing
                invalid POC objects are validated.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Policy statement:<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Insert one new section into NRPM 3:<br class="">
                <br class="">
                3.7 POC Notification and Validation Upon Reassignment or
                Reallocation<br class="">
                <br class="">
                When a request for reallocation or detailed reassignment
                is made to ARIN, the receiving organization must already
                be in the ARIN database and associated with at least one
                validated POC object. If there are no validated POC
                objects associated with the receiving organization, ARIN
                shall reject the request.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                In addition to notifying the requester, ARIN will also
                notify, via email, all POCs associated with the
                receiving organization, whether the request was
                successful or not, and will request validation of any
                invalid POC objects associated with the receiving
                organization.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Note: Simple reassignments are made without any linkage
                to an organization or POC objects in the ARIN database.<br
