ARIN Update
Tuesday, 20 October, 2:45 PM ET
What’s happening at ARIN, and what does it mean for the networks and organizations that rely on Internet number resources? This session begins with an update on ARIN’s current activities, services, and initiatives that are relevant to the network operator community. From there, we’ll turn to the policies that shape how Internet number resources are managed and distributed — and how those policies can affect the organizations that use them.
We’ll explore the issues behind these proposals, what they could mean for organizations seeking or holding number resources, and the questions the community should be considering as the policies evolve. Attendees will also get a practical look at how to engage in the ARIN policy development process and provide feedback while proposals are still being shaped.
