Call for Community Consultation –ARIN Resource Revocation Procedures

ARIN is seeking community input regarding potential changes to ARIN’s 
number resource revocation procedures.  

ARIN initiates the revocation process when an organization is more than 
90 days overdue on their registration fees.  After every possible 
attempt has been made to contact the organization, ARIN will revoke the 
resource(s) and remove the record from the database.  At that time, the 
resource is put into a “hold bucket” for one year before it is added 
into the available pool for re-issue.  This 12-month period allows 
adequate time for the resource to clear any filters, and also allows 
ample time for the organization to pay the overdue fees.

ARIN currently allows organizations the full 12-month period to pay 
overdue fees and have resources reinstated.  It has been our experience 
that the majority of ISP and end-user organizations pay overdue fees 
within one week of having resources revoked, but ASN registrants, who 
often don’t feel an immediate operational impact from of the revocation, 
tend to come back to pay long after the revocation occurs.  

To align our procedures with more generally accepted business practices, 
ARIN is considering reducing the amount of time an organization has to 
pay overdue fees to six months, at which point, if no payment has been 
made, the resources would be permanently revoked.  If an organization 
attempts to submit payment after the six month limit, they would be 
required to reapply. If approved, they could receive the same resources 
if they are available, or new ones if not.  

ARIN is seeking comments regarding this proposed change through the ARIN 
Consultation and Suggestion Process, available at:
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html

Call for Community Consultation – Changes to ARIN RSS Feed

ARIN is seeking community input about potential changes to the RSS feed 
that provides a daily report of address space returned to and issued by 
ARIN. ARIN wants to ensure the data in this RSS feed is provided in the 
manner most useful to the community.

To understand the data currently provided in this RSS feed, it is 
important to define the terminology used to describe the different ways 
number resources are recovered by ARIN. Revoked address space is space 
that ARIN takes back from a registrant for non-payment of registration 
fees. Reclaimed address space is space that ARIN takes back in response 
to confirmed fraudulent activity by the registrant or someone else (i.e. 
hijacking), OR because ARIN has found that the address space is not 
being used by the original registrant (out of business) and there is no 
evidence that the business was acquired or merged. Returned address 
space is space that is voluntarily returned to ARIN by the registrant 
because it is no longer in use and/or needed.

Each time that ARIN recovers an address block (regardless of the 
recovery method) it is placed into hold status for one year to allow 
adequate time to clear filters. Currently, this RSS feed is a daily 
e-mail update listing the recovered address space (without attribution 
to the recovery method) that has been released from hold status and is 
available for re-issue to a new customer. The RSS feed also lists all 
address space issued by ARIN that day.

Recently, there has been discussion by the community about:

1. Adding additional data to the RSS feed, including listing the address 
space recovered and put into hold status each day
