Registry quality depends greatly upon the timely<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>registration of reassignments from ISPs to end users. The motivation<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>for registration has waned since the depletion of the free pool. At<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>the same time, privacy laws have been introduced in many jurisdictions<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>across ARIN’s service region which constrain registration in certain<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>cases. This combination of forces has generally discouraged many ISPs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>from registering reassignments. Registration remains vital to a number<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>of stakeholders, including law enforcement and network operators.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This proposal aims to modernize the registration-related policies in<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Section 4 by introducing language that is meant to make registration<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>requirements more adaptable to changing privacy laws, while reminding<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ISPs of the importance of registration when feasible for the benefit<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>of the community.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Policy Statement:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In section 4.2.3.7.1,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Replace<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>addresses shall be registered via SWIP or a directory services system<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2."<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>addresses shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>directory services system which meets the standards set forth in<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>section 3.2, within 14 days, to the extent permitted and manner<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>provided by applicable law."<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Retire section 4.2.3.7.2 Reassignments and Reallocations Visible<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Within Seven Days<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rename 6.5.5.1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>From<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Reassignment Information"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Reassignment and Reallocation Information"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In section 6.5.5.1,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Replace<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Each static IPv6 reassignment or reallocation containing a /47 or<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>more addresses, or subdelegation of any size that will be individually<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>announced, shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3.2.
