The text of the Suggestion is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-26.html ARIN will issue an initial response within 10 business days. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * Description: Suggestion: That ARIN employ a sparse allocation approach for IXP assignments out of micro allocation/CI IPv4 address space and at boundaries of /22. ARIN should publicly document that fact on its website. Value to Community: Prevents CI from having to repeatedly and disruptively renumber when expanding. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The text of the Suggestion is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-27.html ARIN will issue an initial response within 10 business days. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * At the moment IPv4 and IPv6 prefix assignments and removals are listed daily on the ARIN issued list. New AS number assignments are not currently listed anywhere at the moment. It would be nice to have the ASNs which were assigned in a day also on either ARIN issued, or another list for ASN assignments if its decided that ASNs would not be appropriate on the ARIN-issued list. Value to Community: The value to the community by listing the daily assigned ASNs, would be to those who closely monitor the validity of routes, via as-path, for impossible combinations. There are currently services for IPv4/IPv6 like the cymru bogons feed, http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/Bogons/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-28.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * In 2013, ARIN switched from reporting "total votes" to "total ballots cast" for election results. Please update websites for 6 years (2 terms worth) of election results to the newer "total ballots cast" You can not infer the total ballots, total votes can easily be calculated by summing the votes for each candidate. Value to Community: Consistent data for reviewing voting history and participation. *Response:* Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2014.28 upon receipt which asks for consistent reporting in the election participation results. It is your desire to see total ballots cast. As you indicated in an email to info at arin.net you did go back and review older announcements, finding the number of total ballots casts at the bottom under Voter Statistics. Since your request is already being met we are closing this suggestion. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-26.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * That ARIN employ a sparse allocation approach for IXP assignments out of micro allocation/CI IPv4 address space and at boundaries of /22. ARIN should publicly document that fact on its website. Value to Community: Prevents CI from having to repeatedly and disruptively renumber when expanding. *Response:* ARIN currently has a /16 of IPv4 address space, in total, reserved for micro-allocation purposes and has not used a sparse allocation method to issue from it over the past several years. The currently reserved /16 is made up of fragmented smaller blocks totaling a /16 for critical infrastructure providers, including exchange points. We have noted there is currently an active policy proposal to expand the micro-allocation reserve block from a /16 to a /15. If the community passes this as policy, we agree using a sparse allocation approach for the newly reserved /16 would benefit IXP organizations. Therefore, we commit to using a sparse allocation approach for issuing IPv4 addresses from any newly reserved block set aside by the policy development process for IXP organizations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This suggestion remains open and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-27.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion:* At the moment IPv4 and IPv6 prefix assignments and removals are listed daily on the ARIN issued list.

There are currently services for IPv4/IPv6 like the cymru bogons feed, http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/Bogons/ *Response:* Thank you for submitting your suggestion, numbered 2014.27, on the topic of adding daily reporting of the AS numbers issued by ARIN. ARIN currently publishes a daily report of the IPv4 and IPv6 resources issued for that day. You have suggested either ARIN add the AS number information to the existing report, or to have a similar report specific to AS numbers published daily. We understand your suggestion and agree this public information is something that ARIN can report on a daily basis. We anticipate this suggestion will be prioritized for action and implemented within the first half of 2015. ARIN will keep this suggestion open until it is completed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
