<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Hello Clinton,</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
ARIN doesn’t provide any geolocation services. We maintain registration data for resources registered in ARIN’s database, but that information reflects who the resources are registered to (e.g. GM, which is headquartered in Detroit), not where the resources
are being used. There are some things you may be able to do through ARIN that will assist in geolocation, but we can’t guarantee they’ll accomplish what you’re seeking. </div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br>
</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">One option is to publish reassignment information for <span style="font-size: 13px;">198.208.27.0/24 with the local street address at which the subnet is used. </span></font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;">198.208.27.0/24
is currently within a direct assignment. Direct assignments are issued to end users like GM; since end users aren't assigning IP addresses to customers, they can’t reassign within their blocks. You could request that we change the network type to a direct
allocation, which is what ISPs get. Reassignments are allowed within direct allocations since ISPs need to subdelegate space to customers. To request that the network be changed to a direct allocation, one of the registered points of contact for the block
can send in an Ask ARIN request via our web site. We’ll then let you know whether it’s possible and if so, what the implications would be (specifically, since ISPs are charged under a different fee schedule than end users, it could raise or lower your annual
fees).</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Another option would be to publish information in a routing registry - either ARIN’s or one of the others listed at the URL below:</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span></span></font><a href="http://irr.net/docs/list.html">http://irr.net/docs/list.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Routing registries allow you to publish information about how your resources are being used. Some of the objects allow you to specify a country code, which may be of assistance in conveying where the resources are being used. You can find some basic
information about publishing routing information for ARIN-registered resources in RIPE’s routing registry at the URL below:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><a href="https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/using-the-ripe-database-as-an-internet-routing-registry">https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/using-the-ripe-database-as-an-internet-routing-registry</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A third option for the future would be to transfer the registration of the GM resources used outside the ARIN region to the appropriate regional Internet registry (RIR). At this point inter-RIR transfers are allowed only between ARIN and APNIC, but it’s
expected that inter-RIR transfers will be possible between ARIN and RIPE in the future. If/when that happens, GM would have the option to request that its resources used in the RIPE region be transferred to RIPE, which may aid you in geolocation by registering
the resources with street addresses at which they’re being used. Note that this is more of a permanent solution; if you expect to frequently change the location at which resources are used, it might not be a good fit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You also have the option to contact sites and/or geolocation data providers directly to request they adjust their geolocation for your IP addresses. Most large content providers have some sort of capability to report geolocation errors, although it may
take some take (e.g. a month or more) to get them corrected. You could also contact geolocation data providers directly to see whether they can adjust geolocation data for your range. We don’t have a list of those providers, but you should be able to find
them with a few web searches.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Finally, if you need any further assistance, you might find it more helpful to post to a network operators forum, e.g. the NANOG mailing list:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other network operators have likely run into the same problems and may be able to offer you more specific information as to how to correct the problem.</div>
