Call for Consultation: ARIN WHOIS Directory Services

[Member Services]

ARIN received a suggestion to allow CIDR style queries to the ARIN WHOIS
directory service. In addition to this enhancement, ARIN would like to
explore other possible modifications that the community desires. ARIN
requests that you provide specific feedback as to what additional WHOIS
enhancements would benefit you and why they are needed.

Please submit your suggestions and feedback to the consult at arin.net. You 
can subscribe to the arin-consult mailing list at
http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/consult.

Discussion on consult at arin.net will close at noon ET 27 July. A poll on 
the topic will be conducted beginning Tuesday, 31 July. Only subscribers 
on the consult at arin.net list when the poll opens will be eligible to 
participate. Poll results will be publicly available and will be used by 
the ARIN President to help determine what course of action, if any, ARIN 
should take regarding the subject.
