ARIN is pleased to announce the availability of a trial WHOWAS service

that will provide historical registration information for a given IP

address or ASN. During the trial, requests should be submitted via email

to hostmaster@arin.net and must include details about the registration

in question and the reason for the request.

Requestors will then be required to sign and return an WHOWAS Terms of

Use Agreement before their WHOWAS request can be processed. Because

requests will be manually processed during the trial, ARIN reserves the

right to set limits on the number of requests that can be made by any

single entity, regarding both the number of requests and period of time

for requests.

ARIN will make every effort to process requests in a timely fashion, but

makes no specific guarantees related to processing time.

This trial period will run for the remainder of 2011, and will serve to

provide much needed data to assist ARIN in defining the scope and

requirements for automating this service. ARIN reserves the right to

terminate this service prior to the end of 2011 should request volumes

exceed ARIN�s ability to provide responses in a timely manner. During

the trial, ARIN will evaluate, what, if any fees may be charged for

future availability of this service.

For full details, instructions on how to take advantage this trial

service, and to view the Terms of Use Agreement, please visit:

Regards,

Nate Davis

Chief Operating Officer

American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
