Would it be out of line for me to ask why you are having so much difficulty _getting_ answers to these questions that you need to ask them here? This whole ARIN thing is starting to smell somewhat like the InterNIC does...
ARIN has asserted that individual members (and in fact individual AC members) don't have a right to have these types of questions answered.
ARIN has NEVER asserted that members or individuals have no right to have these types of questions answered.
Should I repost the list of questions I've sent through the AC list (without answer) to NANOG Kim?
To my knowledge, neither Karl nor anyone else that I can think of, has asked ARIN any questions regarding it's involvement in Sprint's decision to filter prefixes. If someone is asking now, the answer is that the registries (ARIN didn't even exist at the time Sprint began filtering) had no involvement other than to request that Sprint lower their filters from a /18 to a /19.
