NANOGers - Please note the following announcement from ARIN regarding retirement of email-based SWIP updates to the ARIN registry. While we are presently providing transition assistance to several organizations identified by their use of this functionality in the recent past, it is possible that some organizations have little-used tools who may be unaware of this upcoming transition – hence this wider email distribution to make sure that the community is apprised of the retirement of SWIP email template processing at ARIN as of 3 June 2023. See the attached announcement for information on the consultation that was held, the open source template processor we’ve made available and the REST-based alternative. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info@arin.net> Subject: [arin-announce] Email Template Retirement Scheduled for 3 June 2024 Date: January 11, 2024 at 5:24:56 AM HST To: "arin-announce@arin.net" <arin-announce@arin.net> Effective 3 June 2024, ARIN will be retiring SWIP email templates for reporting reallocations and reassignments as described in the community Consultation conducted in November of 2023. Staff conducted analysis of email template usage and determined that this change will impact less than 75 organizations, and we will be working with these customers directly to guide them through this transition. We recognize that this presents a meaningful change for users, and ARIN has completed two major improvements to ease the impact prior to retiring the template processor: - Published an open-source template processor through GitHub on 31 October 2023 that can convert email templates to REST calls that can be received by Reg-RWS. This template processor is a self-contained product that customers may run within their network to process templates. This is meant as a stopgap solution and, once released, will not be maintained, or supported. If customers wish to use this product beyond its initial release, they will be able to fork the repository and maintain it as their needs require. - Deployed updates to ARIN Online on 7 August 2023 to provide feature parity with the existing template processor for reassignments. We will continue to engage with customers who use email templates to educate them on alternative options and assist with their direct transition to our Restful API, Reg-RWS. If you have questions about this transition or need assistance, you can contact us by: - submitting an Ask ARIN ticket or chat with us using your ARIN Online account, or - contacting the Registration Services Help Desk by phone Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET at +1.703.227.0660 Regards, American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ------ Resources: Community Consultation: https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/consultations/2023/2023-5/ Open-source Template Processor: https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/reassignments/ostp/ Reg-RWS Information: https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/regrws/ _______________________________________________ ARIN-Announce
