All the specific legal feedback I’ve heard is that this is a liability nightmare, and that everyone wants ARIN to take on all the liability, but nobody wants to pay for it. Are you hearing something more useful than that?
This is the same legal feedback most lawyers will give you about settlement free peering as well.
And this delightfully illustrates what IMG's Mark MacCormack is pleased to call "the Terrible Truth About Lawyers", to wit: Lawyers believe that their job is to tell you what not to do. Their *actual job* is to tell where risks lie, so that you can make informed business decisions about which risks to take, and how to allow for them. If you as a businessman believe the lawyers' point of view, though, you will never accomplish anything. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
