ARIN in the Caribbean
Introduction
As a Regional Internet Registry, ARIN plays an important role in helping the Caribbean’s efforts to develop a resilient networking environment. ARIN facilitates requests for Internet number resources, promotes development of autonomous networks, and encourages organizations adopting the next generation Internet protocol, IPv6.
With ARIN’s Director of Caribbean Affairs Bevil Wooding at the helm, ARIN has launched several different types of events in the Caribbean so we can serve as a resource for our members and territories in this part of our region. Be on the lookout for ARIN in the Caribbean events in new locations, and be sure to email us if you want us to make a stop near you!
