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. "

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!

I don't claim to have the definitive answer but this FAQ was written when the plan was for NSI to donate a pile of money to finance the first year of ARIN operations. But I believe that this plan fell through and this financing never happened. Even if it had happened, ARIN is an independent non-profit corporation meaning that there are no shareholders other than the members therefore there is no outside control like you find in the corporate world. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
