Those are operational matters, implemented by the staff, governed by the board, who is informed by their legal council and staff. That is part of the reason why I brought some of the issues to the NANOG community, since interaction with ARIN board members and staff is what's necessary to make sure the concerns are addressed, and thus it benefits from wider discussion.
Wes - I am happy to champion the change that you seek (i.e. will get it reviewed by legal and brought before the ARIN Board) but still need clarity on what change you wish to occur - A) Implicit binding to the indemnification/warrant disclaimer clauses (as done by the other RIRs) B) Removal of the indemnification & warranty disclaimer clause I asked this directly during your NANOG presentation, but you did not respond either way. I also noted that your own business customer agreements have the same indemnification & non-warranty clauses (as they are common in nearly all telecommunication and ISP service agreements) - are these now being dropped by TWC in agreements? Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
