This policy, if adopted, will allow ARIN the flexibility needed for effective operations by returning the decision to ARIN on what the current version of the RSA regarding transfers under 8.5 in the Number Resource Policy Manual. It is fair, impartial, technically sound and has received support from the community. Problem Statement: The current policy mandates that entities receiving transferred resources sign a new RSA unless they have an RSA on file no older than the last two versions. However, defining RSA versioning requirements within the NRPM does not align with the Policy Development Process (PDP) guidelines, as determining which RSA version is considered current is a business decision rather than a policy matter. Policy Statement: Remove (within the last two versions) from 8.5.1 to state: The receiving entity must sign an RSA covering all resources to be transferred unless that entity has a current RSA on file per ARIN business practices. Timetable for Implementation: Immediate. _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
