Kim:
I just spoke with Wael in our traffic engineering group, who I Emailed and CC'd you earlier.
People who are no longer in his group or associated with the IP project reported a series of incorrect information on how they were dealing with ARIN and the feedback they were recieving.
Mostly, the -real- problems were NDA agreements between the legal departments about who's document should be used..etc, and that was communicated to our engineering dept. as 'they said no' AND in as many words to sum up the whole project.
Yes, I just found that out also. I believe it's straightened out now.
Wael's group is also no longer connected with any ARIN dealings with the company, and yet another layer of middle-management has taken this over again.
BUT, I will be more than happy to call you Monday 10a your time, and discuss with you..and our new leader of the ARIN project here at Williams.
Wait until after our discussion, but if you're satisfied then I'll gladly watch you eat crow :-) Kim
I am more than willing to eat the crow Ive laid out before me, and apologise to the NANOG community and ARIN.
