ARIN’s History
In order to “offer IP registration services as an independent, nonprofit business,” the organization of ARIN was established in December 1997. Up until now, Network Solutions Corporation carried performed IP address registration as part of the InterNIC project in compliance with the rules established by the IETF (inside the RIPE and APNIC zones).
In order to “give the users of IP numbers (mostly Internet service providers, corporations, and other large institutions) a voice in the policies by which they are managed and allocated within the North American region,” the National Science Foundation approved the plan for the establishment of the not–profit organization ARIN. Network Solutions Corporation transferred these duties, initial personnel, and computer infrastructure to ARIN as part of the transition.
Scott Bradner, John Curran, Kim Hubbard, Don Telage, Randy Bush, Raymundo Vega Aguilar, and Jon Postel (IANA) served as ex-office members of the first board of trustees.
ARIN provided services to Mexico, Central America, South America, and the entire Caribbean up until late 2002. Parts of the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America are now handled by LACNIC. Moreover, Sub-Saharan Africa was a part of ARIN until AFRINIC was recognized by ICANN as the fifth regional Internet registry in April 2005.
The pool of ARIN IPv4 addresses has been declared exhausted as of September 24, 2015.
