ARIN Mailing List AUP Committee Disbanded

Posted: Monday, 03 February 2025

ARIN chartered a Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) Committee to review reported AUP violations and advise the President and CEO on proposed courses of action to ensure the decisions are sound and consistent with documented procedures. In the last several years, there have been zero reports of AUP violations. In November 2024, the ARIN Board of Trustees adopted a new uniform code of standards, the ARIN Participants Expected Standards of Behavior, which incorporates the former Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy and Remote Participation Acceptable Use Policy standards and applies to all in-person and online interactions for the ARIN community.

With the adoption of the new code of standards, the Board has subsequently agreed to disband the Mailing List AUP Committee as of 14 January 2025. We thank all current and former committee members for their willingness to serve in support of the ARIN community.

All future reports of standards violations should be submitted to the individuals listed on the reporting page.

Regards,

John Curran
President and CEO
