Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2021.16 on confirmed receipt, asking that we add a new optional Legal Point of Contact field for organizations. After reviewing your suggestion, we have determined that maintaining a Legal Point of Contact field is beyond the scope of the core Whois service. However, registrants have the ability to include legal-related contact information in the Public Comments field if they wish to share this optional information.

Because the existing Public Comments field is available for registrants to provide this type of optional information, we are closing your suggestion. We thank you for your participation in ARIN’s Consultation and Suggestion Process.

Regards,

American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
