Consultation Description

ARIN is seeking community input regarding proposed changes to the Terms of Use (ToU) for bulk copies of ARIN Whois data. The current Terms of Use are contained on the Bulk Whois Request Form is available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/bulkwhois.pdf  

The proposed changes contained in the new Terms of Use are two-fold. First, ARIN is aligning standard service language across all of its service agreements, and hence changes in the proposed ToU reflect the changes previously made to the Registration Services Agreement (RSA), Legacy RSA, etc. Second, the proposed changes to the Bulk Whois ToU further clarify permissible and impermissible uses of the Bulk Whois data.

The proposed ToU can be found here:
