Hello, Recently, there has been discussion concerning the need to keep IP issues separate from domain issues. The stability of the Internet in part relies on the careful management of the Internet Protocol addresses. The point has also been made that the management of the IP space should be put in the hands of those that depend on it - the users. Whether those users are ISPs, corporate entities, universities, etc., they should all play a role. To this end, Network Solutions, Inc. plans to create and initially fund a non-profit 501(c)6 organization to be known as The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) to manage the IP address space for the territories it currently administers, similar to the APNIC and RIPE regional IP registries. This organization will be a non-profit spin-off of the current InterNIC IP group. Network Solutions, Inc. will initially fund ARIN until fees are imposed and will offer continued financing until such time as it is a stable, self-sufficient entity capable of funding itself through its membership dues, registration and maintenance fees. Details on the proposed organizational structure and 1997 funding model are located at http://rs.internic.net/arin. Questions regarding the proposal will be answered on the ARIN mailing list. To subscribe, send mail to: listserv@internic.net with "subscribe naipr" in the body along with your first and last name. Regards, Kim Hubbard InterNIC Registry

Might be nice if you change the name slightly to The Americas Registry for Internet Numbers so you don't seem so much like damn yankees.

Why is Network Solutions funding this instead of NSF? Or are they just passing through the money that NSF has already paid for this function? Anyway, sounds like a step in the right direction.

Just a minor nit, but other folks of North and South America are just as American as folks who live in USA. 1) let's move this to NAIPR and 2) let's talk about something that matters. -dorian

That's not what's being talked about - unless the members of the new entity feel that it should be done, which I seriously doubt. What *might* happen is that any new ISP with $5k could get an independent /19 from the registry from day 1 and not have to play the renumbering game. Again, it'd depend on what people agreed to - the members, but also IANA... The new registry will still be under IANA :) But for now, it appears that the new registry will be subjecting people to the same requirements as the old registry... Avi

I would also append to that a guarantee of the block(s) routability on the Internet and if multiple blocks, that they be contiguous which could be stipulated by amount of growth over a period of time.... etc. Am I dreaming here or what? BTW where exactly is that other mail list?
