The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2012-13.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * Where ARIN must evaluate a LIR's IPv4 address utilization in order to perform any duty, ARIN should not compel the production of customer identities for any customer holding a total of less than 8 IPv4 addresses unless all reasonable alternatives for verifying utilization have been exhausted. (credit: Bill Herrin, http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2012-April/024550.html)* * *Response:* Your suggestion that "ARIN should not compel the production of customer identities for any customer holding a total of less than 8 IPv4 addresses unless all reasonable alternatives for verifying utilization have been exhausted" contradicts existing policy requirements. NRPM 4.2.2.1.2, states: "For blocks smaller than /29 and for internal space, ISPs should provide utilization data either via SWIP or RWhois server or by providing detailed utilization information." NRPM 4.2.2.2.1, states: "Utilization for blocks smaller than /29 can be documented via SWIP or RWhois server or by providing detailed utilization information." These policy references allow ARIN to require the same detailed utilization information for /29 and smaller reassignments as it does for the larger reassignments that are required by policy to be swipped. So essentially this detailed utilization information is equivalent to what would be published via SWIP/RWhois. Because there is a current policy requirement for ISPs to provide customer-level detail in policy, and this is very useful information for ARIN to have when assessing an organization's need for additional address space, we believe that policy supersedes suggestions, and that the customer-level detail is a necessary requirement. Therefore, ARIN will not be implementing your suggestion as written. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2012-4.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * ** Street Addresses for Registered Organizations should not be Post Office Boxes. *Response: * After years of doing business with a wide variety of organizations, ARIN has found that there are many legitimate businesses who use Post Office Boxes as their official mailing address. We have had no technically compelling reason to disallow this and in fact, have heard of many valid reasons to allow the use of PO Boxes from a variety of our customers who use them. We did a search through the ARIN database and found the following data relating to the use of PO Boxes: Currently, there are a total of 35,102 Org IDs with direct registrations. 2,450 of them or seven percent have a PO Box specified in the street address field. Of the 35,102 total organizations registered, 4,162 of them are ARIN's direct subscriber members. 444 of them or 11 percent of the members have a PO Box specified in the street address field. Therefore, unless there is some compelling reason that ARIN should not accept a PO Box as an organization's official mailing address, ARIN will continue to allow the use of PO boxes. Thank you for participating in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process. This suggestion is now closed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
