RE: Waiver of IP and AS Number Transfer Fees

4 Jul 2002

      Hey, I'll be the first to laugh it up about some of ARIN's oldschool
GM-style practices, but let's not knock the staff there... I've had
nothing but good experiences with the front-liners (billing and
support). And I believe your cry has been heard and this clean-up and
the template revision are merely portions of their restructuring.

Michael its simple ARIN is staffed by a bunch of people who have no
concept
of business or reality. There reality is based on outmoded ideals
enforced
on them, so no wonder people do not want to go through the abuse of
dealing
with them.

Please correct me if I am wrong. This is not allowing the practice of
selling IPs or ASes,
...
but it encourages those of us who have acquired other
companies to consolidate all the registrations under a single NIC
handle
(for example) to reduce the total number of contacts floating out
I've never really come around to fully understand the notion (more and
more common, it seems) of _selling_ such..? (Maybe I'm an idealist :)

there?
...
Is my understanding accurate?
I would hope so, in a general perspective.
