Hello,

As far as “current RSA” goes, ARIN considers an RSA current if there is no 
change to an organization’s legal status from the time they signed the 
agreement. It does not matter what version it is. The organization, actually 
any organization, can request to sign the most recent version of the agreement 
at any time.

Thanks,
John S.

ARIN-2025-2 Clarify 8.5.1 Registration Services Agreement
Hi Gus and Kendrick,

Thanks for sharing this proposed update and inviting feedback. I’m following 
the discussion and will keep an eye on how the policy evolves.

It might also be helpful if ARIN could clarify what “current RSA” means in 
practice — so organizations know whether their existing agreement still counts.

Best regards,
Mohibul Mahmud

Hello PPML!

ARIN 56 In person meeting is just a few short weeks away in my hometown of 
Arlington Texas.  Prior to the meeting I would like to solicit any feedback 
regarding Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2025-2.

Here is a refresher of the changes to the policy statement in 8.5.1:

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 business practices.

For reference here is the existing text in the NRPM:

8.5.1. Registration Services Agreement
The receiving entity must sign an RSA covering all resources to be transferred 
unless that entity has a current (within the last two versions) RSA on file.

Feedback from the community from March 2025 and after this was presented at 
ARIN 55 was positive.

As always a big thank you to the PPML community!
