Hello Brian, We've reviewed your account and we do see that other Org IDs were created with physical addresses outside the ARIN region. We do note, however, that these Org IDs were created prior to both the policy changes and the changes in ARIN's business practice as announced on 01-Mar-2021, located at: https://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-announce/2021-March/002506.html. When requesting an Org ID, even for SWIP or geolocation purposes, ARIN needs to be able to validate the entity requesting the Org ID, or vet the organization and obtain a signed Registration Services Agreement (RSA) prior to the creation of the Org ID. This vetting is completed to ensure ARIN is entering into a contact with the legally registered entity. ARIN's long standing practice has been to vet the organization in the location of the physical address listed on the Org ID. Our Director of Registration Services will contact you off list to discuss the options for your requested needs. I will contact you off list to discuss the options for your requested needs.

It seems this process now requires a ticket with ARIN, but the ARIN staff are being extremely picky about documentation. For example, they're requiring that we provide documentation we're registered as a business in the location where we've rented some cabinet space, which does not seem to be something that ARIN would need to care about. Has anyone else been through this new process before? Am I missing something obvious about how we should be creating these records? We have historically preferred using ORGIDs for this so we don't have to go back and update hundreds of simple assignments if contact information changes. NRPM doesn't appear to cover this new process, it only says: > New organization records shall be created upon ARIN receiving a request directly from an authorized contact representing an entity that ARIN is able to validate. Organization records shall not be created upon the request of third-parties. _______________________________________________ arin-tech-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-tech-discuss _______________________________________________ arin-tech-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-tech-discuss
