Gee, I followed the guidelines and procedures outlined by ARIN - and what do you know!?

We got address space! Try it! You might like it!

With the demise of Winstar/good.net locally, and us having to renumber anyway, I am getting started on the idea of getting a 'portable' /19 from Arin. We are currently using a non-portable /20 and a couple of /24's.

Any words of advice as we start this process? I'd like to do this right the first time and could use an experienced viewpoint.
