How come all of these discussions about ARIN are not on the ARIN mailing list(s) ?
Because the bulk of people on naipr unsubscribed to get away from you, and nanog is currently the only (while inappropriate) mailing list with a significant audience. naipr is certainly a better place for this than nanog. For those who are unfamiliar with naipr and wish to join, send a "subscribe" to naipr-request@arin.net.
Could it be because some of the ARIN mailing lists are not available to the public ? Why is that...?
Some matters are only relevant to ARIN members; there is no need to make members-only announcements public.
Or...Is it because these are really IANA discussions and there is is not a public IANA discussion list ?
Perhaps because RIPE and APNIC customers don't have these complaints; they're specific to ARIN. naipr fits the need and is underutilized.
Will that be one of the first things that the new IANA Inc. does...??...(i.e. create an open discussion list)...
I am sure that the IANA will continue to do what is necessary to serve its customers (the registries). Stephen -- Stephen Sprunk, KD5DWP "Oops." Email: sprunk@paranet.com Sprint Paranet -Albert Einstein ICBM: 33.00151N 96.82326W
