Please ensure your e-mail client sends ARIN the message as plain ASCII text, not as HTML. Please do not attach the template. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove or modify the template header, i.e. the line beginning with "Template:" or the footer, i.e. "END OF TEMPLATE". Both are required for processing. 01. This template allows you to register a new POC, modify information for an existing POC or remove an existing POC not associated with resources in ARIN's database. This registration action is required. Valid values are: N for New M for Modify R for Remove 02. If you are modifying or removing an existing POC, the POC handle is required for processing. If you are registering a new POC in ARIN's WHOIS database, this field must be blank. If you are unsure of your POC handle, search for your last name in ARIN's WHOIS database. 03. A POC can be either a person or a role account. Indicate P for person or R for role. The Contact Type cannot be updated. If you are modifying a POC record, this field should be left blank. 04. If the POC is a role account, enter the entire role account name. For example: Last Name or Role Account: Network Operations Center If the POC is a person, enter only the last name. For example: Last Name or Role Account: Smith 05. If the Registration Action is New and the POC is a person, the first name is required. If the POC is a role account, the first name should be left blank. If modifying the POC, this field may be left blank. 06. If the POC is a person and has a middle name or initial, provide it in this field. If the POC is a role account, the middle name should be left blank. If you are updating a POC and would like to remove the middle name, enter NONE in this field. 07. If the POC is a role, a company name is required. This will help distinguish the Hostmaster from ABC Company from the Hostmaster at XYZ Company. It is optional for persons. If you are updating a POC that is a person and would like to remove the company name, enter NONE in this field. 08. Indicate the street address of the POC. (If you are updating the street address of an existing POC, you must include all address lines.)
