Reclassification of Inactive General Members Completed 18 November 2024

Posted: Monday, 18 November 2024

To help ARIN fulfill its mission, we rely on our members to participate in ARIN governance activities such as attending our Public Policy and Members Meetings, engaging in the Internet number resource policy process, and voting in ARIN Elections.

To maintain General Member status, organizations must have participated in at least one ARIN Election within the last three elections.

On 18 November 2024, ARIN reclassified 426 General Member organizations that have not cast a ballot since 2022 to Service Member status. ARIN now has 1,642 organizations classified as General Members and 24,464 classified as Service Members.

As a Service Member, organizations continue to have access to ARIN’s full suite of services, including Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and Internet Routing Registry (IRR). However, unlike General Members, Service Members are not eligible to vote in ARIN Elections. If your organization is interested in participating in ARIN Elections, visit our Membership page to learn how you can request General Member status using your ARIN Online account.

If you have any questions about your organization’s membership status, please email member-support@arin.net.

Regards,

American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
