Membership statistics

Definition of an ARIN Member Change adopted by the Board of Trustees and announced 12/28/09 Redefined General Membership to require a valid ARIN Registration Services Agreement (RSA) or Legacy RSA for numbering resources. General members are comprised of entities with direct allocations of IP address space from ARIN, either IPv4 or IPv6 resources. These entities are automatically granted membership status when they receive their initial address block. Additionally, any entity that has a signed Registration Services Agreement (RSA) or Legacy RSA with ARIN and holds a number resource from ARIN may choose to pay a fee to become an ARIN member. (meaning end-users, ASN holders, and legacy RSA signatories) Tightened membership, and thus voting rights, to include only individuals or organizations that hold a signed agreement with ARIN.
