[lir-wg] Re: Transferring InterNIC space from ARIN Database to other RIR databases

Today I've got the following message from ARIN:

[ --- From noreply at arin.net Fri Aug 16 21:28:37 2002 --- ]

When the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) was formed 
in December 1997, they inherited the InterNIC database of IP 
addresses and AS numbers, and the responsibility to maintain the 
records in it. These records became known as early registrations.

Discussions regarding early registrations have taken place amongst 
the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and throughout their 
communities.  These RIRs include Asia Pacific Network Information 
Centre (APNIC), ARIN and the RIPE Network Coordination Centre 
(RIPE NCC). Discussion has also taken place in the emerging Latin 
American and Caribbean IP address Regional Registry (LACNIC) region. 
The decision was made that the interests of the resource holders 
would best be served by managing the resources through the RIR of 
the region in which they reside.

You are receiving this message because you are listed as a point 
of contact (POC) for a registration that will be transferred to 
RIPE NCC within 30 days.

For a list of resources to be transferred, or for more information 
on this this project, visit:

Registration Services
