Over the last decade ARIN has endeavored to fulfill its
mission:
“Applying the principles of stewardship, ARIN, a nonprofit
corporation,
allocates Internet Protocol resources; develops
consensus-based
policies; and facilitates the advancement of the Internet
through
information and educational outreach.”
Our achievements are numerous. As an organization we have:
* Issued 18,500 ASNs
* Registered 300 million IPv4 addresses
* Processed 7.5 billion WHOIS queries
* Registered 2.63038 X 1031 IPv6 addresses
And as a community we have:
* Made 9,250 posts to the Public Policy Mailing List
* Discussed 95 Public Policy Submissions
* Held 20 Member Meetings and 17 Public Policy meetings
Every day, as an organization and a community, we build on
the
foundations laid by John Postel and the efforts of so many
others. The
result is not only a system to delegate Internet number
resources, but a
bottom-up, open, and transparent framework for number
resource policy.
All of this is accomplished under the governance of an
executive board
elected by ARIN members with the support of a dedicated
professional
staff, an elected Advisory Council, and an involved
community.
To see the special multimedia presentation we've created to
help
celebrate this anniversary, please see the website version

ARIN is moving forward into its second decade with a
continued
commitment to service, and the principles the Internet was
founded on:
openness, transparency, and community self-governance.
Regards,
Raymond A. Plzak
President and CEO
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
