ARIN-prop-300: Update ISP and End User References For 2022 Fee Schedule [Archived]

OUT OF DATE?

Here in the Vault, information is published in its final form and then not changed or updated. As a result, some content, specifically links to other pages and other references, may be out-of-date or no longer available.

Date: 19 August 2021

Proposal Originator: Kathleen Hunter

Problem Statement:

Starting in Jan 1 2022, ISPs and end users will no longer have a distinction in terms of fees and both will be under RSA membership terms. There is existing policy language in the NRPM which references ISPs and end users separately.

Policy statement:

This policy aims to synchronize the NRPM in regards to the new 2022 fee schedule by consolidating instances where ISPs and End users have clear distinctions.

Anything else: The AC/community may want to consider the word “resource holder” rather than organization in the new text
