ARIN-prop-340: Clarify 8.5.1 Registration Services Agreement

Date: 10 February 2025

Proposal Originators: Doug Camin, Liz Goodson, Chris Woodfield, Alison Wood, Matt Wilder

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 policy.

Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
