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

Previous versions of the PDP document the process by which the ARIN community developed policy throughout ARIN's history.

Proposals

The Proposal Archive documents every policy proposal received. The Draft Policy Archive lists every draft policy that has received resolution. Policy is discussed on the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML), which is archived here.

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.

Other

ARIN's Public Policy and Members Meetings, as well as Public Policy Consultations (PPCs), play a large role in the PDP. Please check out our complete archive of all policy and members meetings for more information.

Advisory Council

The Advisory Council (AC), as tasked by the Board of Trustees (BoT), is integral to the development of Internet number resource policy at ARIN. The archive of AC meeting minutes document all policy-related actions.

Policy Proposal 2007-26
Deprecate Lame Server Policy

Author: Owen DeLong

Proposal type: modify

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

Replace Section 7 of the NRPM in it's entirety with the following text:

7. Staff action to improve ARIN public database accuracy and consistency.

7.1 ARIN staff shall take reasonable and practicable means to ensure and improve the accuracy of all ARIN public databases, including, but, not limited to WHOIS, delegations of the in-addr.arpa zone, and, delegations of the ip6.arpa zone.

Rationale:

Recent PPML discussion has called attention to the fact that lame DNS delegations are more an operational issue than one of policy. As such, the existing lame delegation policy should be removed from the NRPM to remove the resultant confusion. This is not meant to prevent ARIN staff from taking reasonable action WRT DNS operational issues related to resources issued by ARIN, but, such action can be covered by staff operational guidelines and is not within the scope of Address Policy.

Timetable for implementation: 1 June, 2008
