From info at arin.net Fri Feb 5 08:47:25 2016 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 08:47:25 -0500 Subject: [ARIN-Suggestions] Two new ACSP Suggestions Message-ID: <56B4A7ED.5040909@arin.net> We have received two new ACSP suggestions and are preparing responses to the submitters. *** 2016.01: Prohibit sale of IP Addresses and ASNs [NEW] https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2016-01.html Suggestion: Description: Make the sale or purchase of ipv4/ipv6/as numbers illegal. Value to Community: People who are offering the sale or rent of ips are already in violation of arins policy. If they are unable to use these ips they should be returned to arin IP pool for others to be able to use. It is unfair to allow the direct sale of any IP block larger then /24. I believe this will free up a large amount of unused IP blocks and providing the freedom for others to connect and share the internet as intended. *** 2016.02: Minor UI improvements to ARIN Online [NEW] https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2016-02.html Suggestion: Description: Minor UI improvements to AOL functionality... ARIN should review AOL for usability tweaks. There are several examples of low-hanging fruit such as: When one clicks the "Enter Tab" in POC management, it should focus the entry field rather than requiring the user to make an additional click in the field after the page reloads before they can start typing. Value to Community: These minor improvements to repetitive steps will make the AOL interface more efficient and reduce user frustration. *** Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Fri Feb 5 11:54:23 2016 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 11:54:23 -0500 Subject: [ARIN-Suggestions] Response to 2016.1 Message-ID: <56B4D3BF.70506@arin.net> We have sent our response to ACSP 2016.1- Prohibit sale of IP Addresses and ASNs. We will be updating the website shortly. *** Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2016.1 upon confirmed receipt, requesting that ARIN prohibit the purchase on IP addresses and ASNs. Please note that (contrary to your assertion) parties may presently transfer their rights in IP address blocks in conformance with ARIN?s policies. The community has considered this matter over many years which has resulted in a number of transfer policies as found at: https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight. These policies ultimately encourage accuracy in ARIN?s Whois and registry database. If you believe these policies should be modified, we encourage you to participate in ARIN?s Policy Development Process in two ways. First, you are welcome to comment on existing or potentially new policies on ARIN's Public Policy Mailing List. Second, policy proposals can be submitted to ARIN consistent with the Policy Development Process.

We are currently evaluating this suggestion and will provide our response to the community in the next 10 business days. The full text of the suggestion is available at https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2016-03.html, and provided below for your convenience: ACSP Suggestion 2016.03: Provide Web UI for RDAP Description: Provide WebUI to RDAP directory services, including a format that is easily readable for human queries Value to Community: The new RDAP protocol provides recursive lookups of "whois" information. A web interface would allow members of the Internet community to easily and quickly search the registry without having to install a client.
