From info at arin.net Mon Jul 6 17:51:13 2015 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2015 17:51:13 -0400 Subject: [ARIN-Suggestions] Response to Suggestion 2015.9: CONVERT IPV4 COUNTDOWN TO SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Message-ID: <559AF851.90002@arin.net> ARIN has issued its response to ACSP Suggestion 2015.9. The suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion is now closed and is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2015-9.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * Value to Community: As the available IPv4 free pool becomes progressively more infinitesimal, the legibility of the tiny fraction of a /8 remaining will be much better in scientific notation. For example, today we are at 0.00847. 8.47E-3 is a bit easier to read. As the decimal moves farther to the left, the effect will be more pronounced. This is semi-tongue in cheek, but I couldn't resist. The reality is I don't expect the counter to be relevant long enough for this suggestion to get implemented. It's time to recognize that IPv4 is over and turn our focus to IPv6 deployment. *Response:* Thank you for your suggestion (2015-9) on the topic of changing how ARIN displays the last remaining IPv4 free pool inventory. Although this type of notation could be helpful to some, we have received only one suggestion (from you) to make this change. We agree with your statement that indicates the IPv4 free pool may deplete sooner than we could prioritize this suggestion for implementation. For that reason, we are closing this suggestion without taking further action. Thank you for using the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The text of the Suggestion is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2015-10.html ARIN will soon issue an initial response. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * Description: Publish certain details of IPv4 waiting list Value to Community: ARIN should publish certain details of the waiting list so that people can make educated decisions about their IPv4 planning (to the extent IPv4 planning remains relevant). Apologies for the syntactical ugliness, but < and > are not allowed in suggestions so had to be replaced with ( and ), respectively. I propose that each waiting list entry be published with only the following details: (DATE) (PREFIXLEN) Where (DATA) is the date the entry was put on the waiting list and (PREFIXLEN) is the length of prefix being waited for. If the requestor specified a range, then (PREFIXSHORT)-(PREFIXLONG) should be shown for (PREFIXLEN) e.g. 2015-07-05 /20-/24, 2016-04-01 /4-/8, etc. The benefit to the community is increased transparency in the management of the queue and a better ability to understand the total inadequacy of IPv4. Users logged into AOL who have a place in the queue should have a marker displayed next to their queue entry "(--You are here" or equivalent. -------------- 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/2015-7.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * I had hard time locating the WHOIS Inaccuracy page on the ARIN page: https://www.arin.net/public/whoisinaccuracy/index.xhtml. Is there a way you can place it on the ARIN main page where it will be very visible and easy to access? Value to Community: The benefit is to ensure the WHOIS is accurate for operational security, abuse correction and administrative clarity. As the WHOIS database is one of the main functions of ARIN, it is important to have easy and clear reporting mechanisms. *Response:* 27 May 2015 Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2015.7 upon confirmed receipt, to make the Whois Inaccuracy Reporting page more prominent and easier to locate on the ARIN website. Staff will be looking further into options regarding your suggestion and follow up with a suggested plan of action within the next couple of weeks. This suggestion will remain open until we determine and implement a solution. 13 July 2015 Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2015.7 upon confirmed receipt, to make the Whois Inaccuracy Reporting page more prominent and easier to locate on the ARIN website. We have added a link to the Whois Inaccuracy Reporting form to the homepage in the Highlights box. We hope that this will make the reporting form easier for users to locate in the future. This suggestion is now completed and closed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As it turns out, we had already started work on similar functionality when your suggestion was submitted. For the most part, we will be providing data consistent with your suggestion on the public website. However, ARIN will not be providing functionality for participants to view their place on the wait list. We are going to close this suggestion as we have currently have it in development and will be implemented near the end of August 2015, as part of the next ARIN Online release. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The text of the Suggestion is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2015-11.html ARIN will issue an initial response within 10 business days. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion: * When I attended a LACNIC meeting I found that they have a separate women's lunch where they even arrange guest speakers to talk about their experiences in networking. It is very well attended and it was a great experience. I feel that ARIN should arrange for a similar lunch during the ARIN meetings. I have suggested this several times informally and it hasn't happened. It was suggested to me that I send a formal suggestion here. Value to Community: Help support and encourage woman in the industry. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
