Inside the organisation that runs the internet for North America ARIN is one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). It allocates IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers across the United States, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean. Its public policy meetings help shape Internet resource management through an open, community-led process. However, the actual value of sponsorship remains unclear.
