ARIN should publish online, a list of all engineering projects.
Items should be ranked according to prioritization, along with their
estimated cost, expected implementation date and any other
milestones/status. Items that have not yet been prioritized should
be displayed at the bottom of the list with an annotation that it
has been accepted but not scheduled.<br>
<br>
There is no public place where the community can see what features
ARIN engineering is working on and when to expect them. There are
many items in the ARIN suggestion box that have been in approved and
prioritized but remain in limbo for several years. There is a public
list of items that have not yet been prioritized
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd">https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd</a>) Some of these items have been
in unprioritized state for over a year. ARIN probably has their own
internal list of features beyond those requested by the community.
The community should be able to see the full slate of features being
worked and hold ARIN accountable to quarterly or semi-annual
deliverables.<br>
<br>
This table will be updated quarterly, or more frequently if updates
are available. All unreasonable / unfeasible requests will recorded,
and a detailed explanation of why they are unreasonable and/or
unfeasible will be published.<span style="font-family:

Thanks for your suggestion, numbered 2013.21 upon receipt, regarding
ARIN engineering project information. Based on your suggestion and
related dialogue at the ARIN meeting in Phoenix, we will be
implementing some changes to how we communicate project status.<br>
<br>
On the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/features/">https://www.arin.net/features/</a> webpage, specifically for any
prioritized project yet implemented, we will indicate the
anticipated completion quarter based on the annual ARIN operating
plan as approved by the ARIN Board. Additionally, ARIN will provide
public updates on any projects if the completion schedule appears to
be in jeopardy.<br>
<br>
We will implement these change following Board approval of the
2014-2015 Strategic Plan, budget, and operating plan. This
suggestion is now closed.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
