Policy

As detailed in the Policy Development Process (PDP), the ARIN community decides how ARIN will manage and administer Internet number resources. These community decisions are recorded as polices. The ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) is the repository for all policies. Draft policies & proposals currently under discussion are available here.

Policy Archive

Process

Policy Manual

Every time new policies are adopted, a new version of the NRPM is posted. The NRPM Change Log links to all previous versions of the NRPM, as well as details about which policies were enacted and which sections were modified.

Implementation:

Author(s):

Paul Andersen on behalf of the ARIN AC

This policy proposal replaces section 7.2 of the ARIN NRPM.

ARIN will actively identify lame DNS name server(s) for reverse address delegations associated with address blocks allocated, assigned or administered by ARIN. Upon identification of a lame delegation, ARIN shall attempt to contact the POC for that resource and resolve the issue. If, following due diligence, ARIN is unable to resolve the lame delegation, ARIN will update the WHOIS database records resulting in the removal of lame servers.

Rationale:

The policy as stated could not be implemented without placing an undue burden on ARIN staff resources. The procedures mandated in the policy require a shifting of registration service resources from such activities as IP Analyst support for on-going registration actions as well as the telephonic and email help desks. Removing the procedures from the policy allows the Director of Registration Services the flexibility of meeting all registration services needs and managing the identification, notification, and removal of lame delegations.

Timetable for implementation: 90 days after adoption
