I don't know if I should do anything before proposing things here... but I'll get straight to the point.<br><br>I was wondering if ARIN (and its members) would consider benefical a different approach towards AS numbers... somewhat similar to how RIPE works. More specifically I think would be a better way for LIR/ISP to be able to register AS numbers on behalf of it's customers.<br>For example, in our situation, we are on a "X-Small" plan; having up to 63 ASNs included in our plan scheme. Almost all companies would agree that 63 ASNs for a single entity is somehow too much. Most of us really use 1-5 ASNs at most.<br><br>Having the possibility to reallocate ASNs in the way we can reallocate unused IP space to end-users, would help us somehow to compensate the yearly fee we pay for membership, by charging a small amount on the End-User for the object maintenance.<br><br>Would that be something @ARIN would consider allowing LIRs to do?<br><br>Thank you,<br>Andrei.</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=480 style='width:5.0in'><tr><td width=160 valign=top style='width:120.0pt;padding:7.5pt 0in 9.0pt 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><a href="https://www.layerbridge.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><span style='color:blue'><img border=0 width=141 height=19 style='width:1.4687in;height:.1979in' id="_x0000_i1027" src="cid:image001.png@01DA665E.17DC6650" alt=Logo></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width=320 style='width:240.0pt;padding:4.5pt 0in 4.5pt 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3D3C3F'>LayerBridge<o:p></o:p></span></b></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 8.25pt 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3D3C3F'>Andrei Cojan</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3D3C3F'> | Co-Founder & Administrator <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'>email: </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1793D2'><a href="mailto:andrei@layerbridge.com">andrei@layerbridge.com</a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'>BGP Info: <a href="https://bgp.he.net/AS3280">AS3280</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3D3C3F'>For Europe:<br><b>LayerBridge SRL</b></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'><br>Poligrafiei Blvd., No. 75, WhiteGate Building <br>1st District, Bucharest, Romania<br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3D3C3F'>For US & Non-EU:<br><b>LayerBridge LLC</b></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'><br>8 The Green, STE R, Dover, Delaware 19901 <br>United States<o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:4.5pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.facebook.com/layerbridge" target="_blank"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><span style='color:blue'><img border=0 width=23 height=23 style='width:.2395in;height:.2395in' id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.png@01DA665E.17DC6650" alt="Facebook icon"></span></span></a> <o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td width=480 colspan=2 style='width:5.0in;border:none;border-top:solid #1793D2 1.0pt;padding:6.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#9B9B9B'>This message and any attachment are confidential and is protected from disclosure.
