The inference here is that by creating a costly new bureaucracy, all our problems will go away.

The inference is that we can have IP address allocations being made by a relatively nimble non-profit if we take the steps to establish such now. There is a very real difference between a large for-profit company working under the goverment cooperative agreement and a small standalone operation running under member goverance. I don't think creating ARIN solves the world's problems, but I do think it provides a solid path forward for IP administration in a very uncertain world. /John
