Announcing ARIN on the Road

The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is pleased to announce 
two free “ARIN on the Road” networking and education events in Phoenix 
and Raleigh. We will be in Phoenix on 17 August and in Raleigh on 19 
August 2010. Pre-registration is required, and is available now at:

* Phoenix: https://www.arin.net/phoenix/
* Raleigh: https://www.arin.net/raleigh/

A large part of ARIN’s job is to educate the community on issues facing 
the Internet, including IPv4 depletion and IPv6 adoption. These events 
will provide the latest IPv6 adoption and IPv4 depletion information, 
ARIN policy development updates, and the status of ARIN and the RIR 
system. We’ll answer questions on how to interact with ARIN’s online 
services and solicit discussion topics from you to make sure we cover 
what you want to know. A Registration Services Department help desk will 
be open to answer your specific questions related to registering 
Internet number resources. In addition, those who complete a brief 
survey about the event will be entered into a drawing for an iPod Touch.

Attend and interact with ARIN to learn how you can guide the future of 
the Internet! If you have any questions, please contact us at

ARIN's Whois-RWS Directory Service Available 17 July

ARIN is pleased to announce that it will deploy its Whois-RWS service on 
17 July 2010. We have corrected the issues that impacted the first 
release and are now able to bring you the following services that 
provide the general public with access to ARIN's registration data:

* a RESTful Web Service (RWS)
* a NICNAME/WHOIS port 43 service
* a user-friendly web site (http://whois.arin.net)

When using the Whois-RWS you will notice some differences in behavior 
for certain queries and corresponding result sets on the NICNAME/WHOIS 
port 43 service. The detailed documentation on these differences has 
been updated and is now available at:
https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/whois_diff.html

ARIN’s Directory Service for registration data has used the 
NICNAME/WHOIS protocol since its inception. The limitations of the 
NICNAME/WHOIS protocol are well known and documented in RFC3912.
Whois-RWS was created as an alternative to the ARIN Whois and will 
provide much richer functionality and capability to the community.

ARIN continues to welcome community participation on the Whois-RWS 
mailing list, and we invite you to subscribe and share your experience 
and feedback about the new service:
http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-whoisrws

Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010

ARIN is pleased to announce the release of Whois-RWS.

ARIN’s Whois RESTful Web Service (Whois-RWS) is the directory service 
for accessing registration data contained within ARIN’s registration 
database. Whois-RWS provides several improvements over ARIN’s previous 
Whois service. Whois-RWS can easily be integrated into command line 
scripts similar to Whois or RWhois, or it can be accessed with a web 
browser.

For those who rely on existing scripts and clients, ARIN will continue 
to maintain services for the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol on TCP/43. This is 
achieved by using a proxy service to translate traditional ARIN Whois 
queries into Whois-RWS queries.

View service differences, a Whois-RWS FAQ, and API documentation at:
https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/ 
<https://webdev.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/>

Important details on other features in development can be found at:
https://www.arin.net/features/
