ACSP Suggestion 2024.11: Add Change Notification Feature

Suggestion

Author: Anonymous   
Submitted On: 24 June 2024

Description:

ARIN should create a mechanism that allows resource holders to be notified of any changes to resources or accounts they manage. Resource holders can then tie these instant reports into change management processes.

AFRINIC, APNIC, and RIPE NCC already allow something similar using the RPSL “notify:” attribute in object maintainers. ARIN could implement equivalent functionality using modern technology instead of e-mail.

Value to Community:

IP addresses are valuable both in monetary terms and in terms of the functionality they provide to all kinds of organization. Valuable resources are deserve strong change management controls.

When organizations get instant notifications of changes they can either evidence and close change management processes quickly, or take action to revert flawed changes straight away. This means that ARIN’s database should become more accurate over time.
