ARIN Internet Routing Registry (IRR) Upgrade

ARIN is pleased to announce an upgrade to ARIN's Internet Routing 
Registry (IRR) service. The upgraded IRR will now support route6 
objects, allowing you to record your IPv6 routes within ARIN's IRR. This 
service is available over both IPv4 and IPv6 transports.

ARIN’s IRR will also check route authorization against the ARIN network 
and Autonomous System registrations and their organization and resource 
contacts. We are working on additional authentication methods and plan 
to eventually integrate the IRR service with ARIN Online.

All records that were added or modified during the pilot period have 
been retained and now are reflected in the public service. The aliases 
used in the pilot have been pointed to production but will be removed 
within two weeks.

www.arin.net

We are pleased to announce that we have updated the top-level navigation 
on the ARIN website, and significantly revised the organization of the 
Number Resources and Knowledge sections. These changes, based on user 
feedback, come almost a year after the release of the last website 
redesign and are intended to further improve your experience at 
www.arin.net.

The reorganized dropdown menu for “Number Resources” eliminates 
redundancy and allows for easier navigation to information and request 
forms. Two new pages are available in this menu. One linking to the 
“Services” ARIN offers to assist in the management and administration of 
your resources, and the other to “Tools” which features new and 
developing technologies related to Internet number resources.

The “Knowledge” section now features a “General Education” page where 
you can download all of ARIN’s educational materials, and a “Technical 
Information” page featuring details about the management of Internet 
number resources, educational documents, listings of address block 
allocations, and links to relevant RFCs.

Another notable highlight is the update of the IPv6 Info Center. Still 
available from the “Quick Links” list on the homepage, the name has 
changed to “IPv4/IPv6: The Bottom Line”, and the page now contains even 
more information to help you understand and explain the issues 
surrounding these critical issues. From there you can download a copy of 
the IPv4 Depletion and IPv6 Adoption Community Slide Deck, find 
information on making the business case for your organization’s IPv6 
adoption plan, and find links to the IPv6 wiki and other respected 
sources of information on the status of the remaining IPv4 free pool.

ARIN Board Simplifies Membership Structure

During its meeting on 18 December, the Board of Trustees adopted Bylaws 
changes that simplify ARIN’s membership structure.

Beginning 1 January 2010, ARIN membership will be open to those 
organizations that have a signed Registration Services Agreement (RSA) 
or Legacy RSA with ARIN and hold Internet number resources under that 
agreement. Automatic Membership will continue to be granted to 
organizations with a direct allocation (generally service providers) of 
IPv4 or IPv6 address space under a signed RSA. Organizations with an AS 
number (ASN), or a direct assignment of address space from ARIN 
(generally end-user organizations), or that have a signed Legacy RSA 
have the option of becoming ARIN Members and participating in the 
governance of the organization.

Feel free to contact us at info@... if you have any questions.
