Governmental Entity/Institution LRSA Requests

Thank you for your interest in entering an Registration Services Agreement/Legacy Registration Services Agreement (RSA/LRSA) with ARIN. To maintain uniformity and consistency, and in fairness to other organizations, modifications to the agreements are not permitted. However, ARIN will consider limited modifications for governmental entities in circumstances where there is a demonstrated need. Demonstrated need refers to circumstances where a governmental entity would not be able, under applicable law, to execute the agreement absent the modification(s).

If you have a demonstrated need, please provide the following required information for consideration in your ticket submitted via ARIN Online:

1. Provide information that shows your organization is a governmental entity, state university, etc. For example, charters, legislative documents, funding/budget documents.

2. Provide, for ARIN’s review, the specific changes to the agreement text that are being requested as necessary to remain compliant with applicable law.

3. For each change that is being requested, please provide the legal/statutory citation that demonstrates the necessity for the requested change. ARIN cannot consider changes to the RSA/LRSA if this information is not provided.
