I do not like surprises and want to complain about this planned surprise. I do not want to be woken for something for which I could have planned (ASes across the globe utilize this), nor have emergencies be fabricated for me. Besides just being rude, it would be far more useful to observe the behavior from start to finish, than to react to a failure. I also do not consider it ARIN's prerogative to test how clients react to failure of their pub point. Every member has the ability to do this themselves, how and where they desire (such as a lab rather than prod.), and on their schedule. Some likely experience publicaiton points being inaccessible daily. ARIN's goal should be the near uninterrupted operation of their public facing services. If ARIN requires a maintenance period, publish that period and adhere to it. As our customers expect from us, I expect from ARIN. This is no longer a toy. _______________________________________________ arin-tech-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-tech-discuss
