Re: Upcoming Improvements to ARIN's Directory Service

Hi

ARIN is making significant improvements to our systems and services. ARIN
encourages the community to look for upcoming features as details are 
available at: https://www.arin.net/features.

I would like to clear up the confusion about the changes to access to
Bulk Whois that have been discussed in this thread. The next release of 
ARIN Online on 26 June 2010 will include an easy way of automating bulk 
Whois reports. ARIN sent an announcement about this change to all current 
Bulk Whois recipients on 1 June 2010. The current legacy ftp service for 
Bulk Whois recipients will continue to operate until 31 August 2010. This 
should allow enough time to make the changes required to your scripts to
migrate to the new solution.

Regards,
Mark Kosters
