ARIN's Data Accuracy Improvement Program
The Data Accuracy Improvement Program will increase the integrity and accuracy of ARIN’s registry data by validating the information currently associated with all organizations holding resources from ARIN, ultimately benefiting the broader Internet community. Each registry administers a data accuracy program in accordance with its operational practices and policies.
During this process, ARIN will confirm and vet the information associated with organizations and users linked to each account.
What is “Accuracy”?
An organization must meet all three accuracy criteria below for the organization record to be considered accurate.
- Complete: All required fields for an organization record and at least one associated Point of Contact should be populated with required data.
- Correct: The organization record has been vetted and at least one associated Point of Contact been validated.
