The more correct solution would be for ARIN to move to a RIPE-ish whois server.
Then again, why should ARIN use industry standard, public domain software, when they can use NSI's proprietary system?
Probably because the database would need to be converted and the ARIN staff have their hands full already with starting up a new organization and a new network in new offices.
Actually we've recently begun the lengthy process of converting our db and we're open to all options and suggestions especially those that will enable us to coordinate more closely with all other registries. Kim Hubbard ARIN
