Dear NANOG,
when I approached ARIN about how they feel about reaching out to their members about
prefixes that are unreachable in a route origin validation (ROV) environment,
John Curran (CEO ARIN) referred me to you (see email bellow - quoted with permission).
Perhaps this was answered elsewhere, but:
"Why is this something ARIN (the org) should take on?"
Why can't (or why isn't) this something that 'many' monitoring/alerting companies/orgs are offering?
it's unclear, to me, why ARIN is in any better position than any other party to perform this sort of activity?
I would expect that, at the base level, "I just got random/unexpected email from ARIN?" will get dropped in the spam-can, while: "My monitoring company to which I signed up/contracted emailed into my ticket-system for action.. better go do something!" is the path to incentivize.
The question I asked ARIN was specifically:
> Would you be open to reach out to your affected members to inform them about
> their affected IP prefixes?
'how?' (email to the tech-contact? etc? did they sign up for said monitoring and point to the right destination email catcher?)
