In the software release scheduled for 4 November, ARIN plans to implement new features in ARIN Online that will provide tighter integration of ARIN’s Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and Internet Routing Registry (IRR) routing security services. These improvements are informed by the community consultation that closed on 20 September 2023. Based on feedback received from our community during the consultation, ARIN plans to deploy the following features in ARIN Online and in our Application Programming Interface (API) for Hosted RPKI:
As of 1 February 2023, ARIN requires multifactor authentication (MFA) on all new ARIN Online accounts. Users with accounts created before February 2023 were notified and encouraged to log in at their earliest opportunity, where they would be prompted to set up MFA. This step was taken to provide stronger security for the registry, reduce the risk of fraud, and increase confidence in the integrity of their ARIN resources. As of 15 July 2024, 154,974 of accounts have not completed MFA setup; of these, 135,122 are not associated with any Internet number resources.
ARIN recently completed the calls for nominations for the 2024 elections for the Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, and Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC). The 2024 ARIN Elections will be held 24 October–1 November to fill three seats on the Board, five seats on the Advisory Council, and one seat on the NRO NC. The following individuals submitted all required information to be considered as candidates. Board of Trustees John Brown Mike Burns William Charnock Ron da Silva Peter Harrison Philip Inshanally Altie Jackson Keith Mitchell Shernon Osepa Chris Roosenraad Adrian Schmidt Chris Tacit David Zumwalt Advisory Council Lily Botsyoe E.
