Please: don't ask folks to take discussions of public concern to a closed forum. ... ARIN makes only two promises about the application of existing and new ARIN policies to LRSA signatories: "ARIN will take no action to reduce the services provided for Included Number Resources _that are not currently being utilized_ by the Legacy Applicant."
Bill - Two quick points - Your concern about arin-discuss is understandable (i.e. you should not have to join ARIN in order to discuss a potential concern of community interest that you have with the agreement). I'll mention this to the Board, and note in the meantime that the PPML mailing list often covers far-ranging discussions such as these in case that becomes necessary. Also, your emphasis above ("_that are not currently being utilized_"), pointed our we need to clarify that it should include "all resources, including those not currently being utilized", i.e. the phrase wasn't intended to exclude *utilized* resources from "ARIN will take no action" clause. I will have that fixed on the next version of the LRSA. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
