Subject: [arin-announce] Retirement of ARIN Non-Authenticated IRR on 31 March 2022

ARIN has been engaged in a multi-year project to create and deploy a new and improved Internet Routing Registry (IRR). 
As a result of these efforts, ARIN now provides users with the ability to create, update, and delete objects in ARIN’s 
authenticated IRR database using ARIN Online or ARIN’s RESTful API. Unfortunately, use of ARIN’s previous 
non-authenticated email-based IRR service actually increased after ARIN released its authenticated IRR, in opposition 
to the outcome ARIN anticipated when improving its IRR.

On 8 February 2021, ARIN held a consultation to solicit input on the retirement of ARIN’s non-authenticated email-based 
IRR service. This retirement was originally scheduled for 30 September 2021. Based on community input, the proposed 
date for the ARIN-NONAUTH retirement was delayed to 31 March 2022 to allow more transition time for users. We also 
notified by email Points of Contact (POCs) of organizations who have objects in the ARIN-NONAUTH database of the 
retirement date and offered them our assistance with the transition.

This announcement serves as a reminder that ARIN will retire its ARIN-NONAUTH IRR database on 31 March 2022. After this 
date, users will no longer be able to create, update, or delete records in the ARIN-NONAUTH database, and the 
ARIN-NONAUTH data stream will no longer be available in Near Real Time Mirroring (NRTM) or via FTP or Whois Port 43.

If you have questions about this transition or need assistance, you can contact us by:

- submitting an Ask ARIN ticket or chat with us using your ARIN Online account
- emailing the Routing Security Team at mailto:routing.security () arin net
- contacting the Registration Services Help Desk by phone Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET at 
+1.703.227.0660
