ARIN is seeking community input regarding changes to the Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) for bulk copies of ARIN WHOIS data as found on the Bulk WHOIS Request Form, available at https://www.arin.net/resources/agreements/bulkwhois.pdf
Presently, ARIN specifically prohibits redistribution of bulk WHOIS data. ARIN has recently determined that under some circumstances, it may be beneficial for one organization that has received bulk WHOIS data to provide it, subject to ARIN’s express written permission, to another person/organization for conducting Internet operations or technical research. ARIN would maintain oversight on the usage of the data and require adherence to the Bulk WHOIS AUP, which the recipient organization must also sign.
As a result, ARIN is suggesting the following addition to the AUP:
“Distribution of derivative data is only permitted with express written of permission of ARIN and under the same terms as this AUP.”
This change would allow redistribution when the use of the data is consistent with the AUP. The AUP with suggested text highlighted, can be found here:
