Note - ARIN Consultation on proposed Registration Services Agreement Now Open
NANOGers - To the extent that you are interested in ARIN's Registration Services Agreement, we have just initiated a consultation on a proposed new version of the RSA (and LRSA) as noted in the attached announcement. If you wish to provide any feedback, please do so on the <arin-consult@arin.net<mailto:arin-consult@arin.net>> mailing list between now and 30 August 2015. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info@arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on Registration Services Agreement Now Open Date: July 29, 2015 at 4:04:03 PM EDT To: <arin-consult@arin.net<mailto:arin-consult@arin.net>> ARIN is seeking community input on a new version of the Registration Services Agreement that combines the existing Registration Services Agreement (RSA) and Legacy Registration Services Agreement (LRSA) into a single agreement (“RSA Version 12.0/LRSA Version 4.0”). Following community consultation and finalization, ARIN will provide services to new parties per this latest version of the Registration Services Agreement. Existing holders of Internet number resources will have the opportunity to upgrade to this new version of the Registration Services Agreement or remain with their current Registration Services Agreement. There are notable and substantive changes with this new version incorporating input received from the community on the Registration Services Agreements. These changes include: * Clarifying that the agreement is only applicable to “Included Number Resources” (i.e. the Internet number resources pursuant to the agreement, not any other number resources that parties may hold under other agreements or no agreement) * Similarly clarifying that the provision wherein a Customer is agreeing that “Included Number Resources” are not property is only applicable to “Included Number Resources” in the agreement and remains silent with regard to any other number resources held by the party * Providing uniform service terms and conditions (other than fees) for all customers receiving services from ARIN * Elaborating on the definition of ARIN’s services that are covered by the agreement, including resource certification * Providing a more balanced agreement with respect to term language previously seen as favorable to ARIN The new RSA Version 12.0/LRSA Version 4.0 is available at the following URL: https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/rsa_draft_ver12.pdf We strongly encourage you to review the current RSA and LRSA against the proposed version of this new agreement and to submit your constructive comments to arin-consult@arin.net. Discussion on arin-consult@arin.net will close on 30 August 2015. ARIN seeks clear direction through community input, so your feedback is important.

There’s been no comment on this announcement on this list, but there were a small handful of NANOGers who energetically discussed this on the arin-consult list starting mid-August. On the last day of the comment period (so you might have missed it), a detailed comment was submitted, which focussed on the impact to legacy resource holders and those who acquire addresses in the transfer market. I’m not sure how many people on this list would have been following a discussion of the ARIN RSA, but there might be some who would find legacy and transfer focussed comments to be interesting. So in case you missed it: General discussion: http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-consult/2015-August/date.html Focussed comment: http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-consult/2015-August/000662.html —Sandy On Jul 29, 2015, at 4:11 PM, John Curran <jcurran@arin.net> wrote:
