Community Consultation Extended - Removal of WHOIS Query Result Limit

[Member Services]

The call for discussion on consult at arin.net is extended to Noon
ET, Monday, 26 March.

ARIN is soliciting input from the community on a request to remove the 
ARIN WHOIS query limit of 256 results. Rather than raise the limit to an 
arbitrary number, ARIN requests that you provide your specific feedback 
as to what the query results limit should be. ARIN asks for feedback 
based on your experiences with using ARIN's WHOIS directory service. It 
would be of particular interest to ARIN to receive input from larger 
organizations with many registered resources or sub-delegations 
regarding an appropriate result limit.

The call for consultation and discussion to date is archived at:
http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/consult/

Subscribe to consult at arin.net and participate in the discussion and the 
subsequent community polling: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/consult

A poll on the topic will be conducted beginning
Tuesday, 27 March. Subscribers on the consult at arin.net list when 
discussion ends 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 
suggestion.

We welcome community-wide participation.  Please address any process 
questions to info at arin.net.
