However, these org records will not have POCs associated with them. POCs associated with an org are only necessary if and when you request additional resources. If you would like to establish POCs so that they are there the day of conversion, submit an Org-Detailed or Org-Simple template located at: ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/new-templates/ These templates should be submitted to jumpstart at arin.net, and will be processed the day of conversion. The POCs currently in WHOIS will be associated with the resources. These POCs are authorized to submit reassignments, so there will not be any problems with reassignments the day of conversion.

Beta testing for the new database and templates was opened on June 28, 2002. With the closure of beta testing on August 2, the release of ARIN's new services was planned for Friday, August 9. To allow for an additional week of beta testing, and to ensure the best possible service product is released for your use, the conversion to ARIN's new registration services has been moved from Friday, August 9, to Friday, August 23. An updated timeline for ARIN's database and template conversion is available at: http://www.arin.net/template_conversion/index.html * Conversion tips are available. We encourage you to take advantage of this additional time to test ARIN's new registration services and get a jumpstart on updating your organization information for the new ARIN database. You may view how your company's post-converted data by visiting the beta ARIN whois server via... http://www.arin.net/tools/new_whois_help.html ... or querying to port 43 of beta.arin.net. You can find an extensive set of information about the conversion at the first URL listed above.

I'm working on a Perl extension for the new whois server output called Net::Whois::ARIN. If no XML support is planned it would be fairly simple to combine the use of a module like this with XML::Simple to get Whois output in XML format. Here's some example code: use Net::Whois::ARIN; use XML::Simple; my $o = Net::Whois::ARIN->new( -host => 'beta.arin.net', -port => 4344, ); my %rec = $o->query_handle('ELIX'); XMLout( \%rec, xmldecl => 1, noattr => 1, rootname => 'Record' ); exit; The output from this would be: US
4400 NE 77th Ave Vancouver, WA 98662
2001-09-26 1999-01-19 ELIX Electric Lightwave Inc The hash returned could be used directly to access the values needed also like: printf( "OrgID %s was registered to %s on %s.\n", $rec{'OrgID'}, $rec{'OrgName'}, $rec{'RegDate'} ); Which would print: OrgID ELIX was registered to Electric Lightwave Inc on 1999-01-19. I could put an alpha version of Net::Whois::ARIN on the CPAN if anyone is interested in playing with this interface.

One thing that was noticed about your example is the handling of duplicate fields from WhoIs. For example, there are three field that come back from WhoIs. One for each of the following: 1) the ISP, 2) the Customer, and the 3) the Customer's address block. Therefore, I would think nesting some of the elements might be advantageous. For example: XYZ Organization XYZ 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255 10.0.0.0/8 XYZ123 NET-10-0-0-0 10.0.0.0 Direct Allocation ns.nameserver.com,ns1.nameserver.com Comments for the ISP or provider would go here. 2002-08-01 2002-08-13 X23-ARIN Some Person +1-800-555-1212 someone at somedomain.com Customer ABC ABC00011

The above might be a start, if one is not already present, on how the XML output might be formatted. Feedback or corrections are welcome.

The Net::Whois::ARIN perl module does not generate XML output. In the specific example that I gave I was doing a beta whois query on the handle ELIX. Here is what this would look like using telnet: $ telnet beta.arin.net 4344 ! ELIX OrgName: Electric Lightwave Inc OrgID: ELIX Address: 4400 NE 77th Ave Vancouver, WA 98662 Country: US Comment: RegDate: 1999-01-19 Updated: 2001-09-26 # ARIN Whois database, last updated 2002-07-31 04:34 # Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's Whois database. Notice that this case does not generate more than one Comment field so no nesting is needed to handle this response. The example I showed returns a hash which is equivalent to the declaration: %rec = ( OrgName => 'Electric Lightwave Inc', OrgID => 'ELIX', Address => '4400 NE 77th Ave Vancouver, WA 98662', Country => 'US', Comment => '', RegDate => '1999-01-19', Updated => '2001-09-26', ); I realize that this discussion should probably be taken off list but I'd like to briefly explain how multi-record detailed responses are handled. Each detailed record returned from the whois server can be represented with a hash. If the request method chosen has the possibility to return more that one detailed record a list of hash references would be returned. Now fields like Nameserver have to be handled differently because there can be more than one of these per record, not just per response. If this is confusing send me email directly and I'll clarify what I'm trying to say. :) I don't want to drive everyone crazy if they aren't interested in discussing the details of my interface. I'm setting up a sourceforge project in case anyone is interested in working on this module. I'm having some issues importing my sources into the CVS repository but the current snapshot can be found at http://net-whois-arin.sourceforge.net/source/Net-Whois-ARIN-0.01.tar.gz if anyone wants to give it a try. Remember this is alpha software, if you break it you get both halves. Please send me email directly if you'd like to comment on the module or if you have any suggestions until I can get the sf.net site set up.

On Friday, August 23, Registration Services will be processing any of the old templates that were received up until midnight on Thursday, August 22. Any of the old templates that are received while mail is being queued will not be accepted. New templates will be accepted anytime after 12:01 AM, Friday August 23.

At conversion, all POCs will be associated with resources, i.e. networks and AS numbers. There will be no POCs associated with your Org. This is a requirement to request additional resources.

As you can see per the e-mail below, the bug was verified and added to the list of fixes to be implemented during the beta period. However, it never went into effect. -gc "We will be summarizing all change requests, such as the one you present in your message, and will discuss them at the upcoming database working group meeting in Eugene, Oregon (October).

Regarding the missing comma between the address and the city in Organization addresses: The bug you reported has been verified and will be added to the list at http://ww1.arin.net/tools/whois_update.html . As bugs are resolved, this page will reflect the Whois Beta status. We have also noticed (and it has been reported by another beta tester) that the zip codes are missing from the Organization addresses. Both of these issues will be resolved in the near future. Again, thank you for your input. Tim Christensen ARIN Engineering
