Dean sez: All the questions can probably be answered by noting that ARIN is a non-profit arm of NSI.
this is not true
"17. What are the roles of Network Solutions and the InterNIC?
NSIís role is to sponsor ARIN, providing assistance to its establishment and providing initial support of ARIN until ARIN is self-funding. Once this is achieved, there will be no ties--financial, management or other--between the two organizations. ARIN will be an independent, non-profit organization responding to its membership. "
Since it is not yet self-funding, what, exactly, part is untrue of my statement?
All of it. While it is still an "arm" of NSI, it is not a non-profit. At some point it will become independent and non-profit. At which point it will not be an arm of the NSI. At no time will it ever be a "non-profit arm of the NSI". --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP/DCE http://www.av8.com We Make IT Fly!
