If we are "modernizing" the language of this section that should include
removing old and outdated terminology. While the terms "WHOIS" and
"SWIP" are popular in the community, they are protocols and methods
which are being replaced by new modern protocols and methods. The
language should be updated to reflect those new terms or use generic
terms such as directory services or registration records.
Thanks,

Problem Statement:
Registration is central to the value provided by ARIN to the
community. Registry quality depends greatly upon the timely
registration of reassignments from ISPs to end users. The motivation
for registration has waned since the depletion of the free pool. At
the same time, privacy laws have been introduced in many jurisdictions
across ARIN’s service region which constrain registration in certain
cases. This combination of forces has generally discouraged many ISPs
from registering reassignments. Registration remains vital to a number
of stakeholders, including law enforcement and network operators.
This proposal aims to modernize the registration-related policies in
Section 4 by introducing language that is meant to make registration
requirements more adaptable to changing privacy laws, while reminding
ISPs of the importance of registration when feasible for the benefit
of the community.
Policy Statement:
In section 4.2.3.7.1,
Replace
"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more
addresses shall be registered via SWIP or a directory services system
which meets the standards set forth in section 3.2."
With
"Each IPv4 reassignment or reallocation containing a /29 or more
addresses shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP, or a
directory services system which meets the standards set forth in
section 3.2, within 14 days."
Retire section 4.2.3.7.2 Reassignments and Reallocations Visible
Within Seven Days
Rename 6.5.5.1
From
"Reassignment Information"
To
"Reassignment and Reallocation Information"
In section 6.5.5.1,
Replace
"Each static IPv6 reassignment or reallocation containing a /47 or
more addresses, or subdelegation of any size that will be individually
announced, shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP or a
distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section
3.2. Reassignment and reallocation registrations shall include each
client’s organizational information, except where specifically
exempted by this policy."
With
"Each static IPv6 reassignment or reallocation containing a /47 or
more addresses, or subdelegation of any size that will be individually
announced, shall be registered in the WHOIS directory via SWIP, or a
distributed service which meets the standards set forth in section
3.2, within 14 days. Reassignment and reallocation registrations shall
include each client’s organizational information, except where
specifically exempted by this policy."
Retire section 6.5.5.2 Reassignments and Reallocations Visible Within
