[arin-discuss] [ppml] Counsel statementonLegacyassignments?(fwd)

[Thomas Leonard]

Not true.  In December 2006, I wrote a letter to ARIN regarding the pricing discrepancies between "legacy" ip holders and ARIN's
members.  ARIN replied  that they did not have any authority over "legacy" ip holders.  Clearly and legally, that has changed and so
should the pricing.

i disagree.  at the top of page 3 of the 2006 annual report, which is online
at <http://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/annual/report2006.pdf>, we see:

	"Public Participation Leading to Positive Results"
			"Who is ARIN? You Are!"

i agree with this.  what it means is, ARIN is controlled by the community,
and "ARIN management" serves the community's stated interests.  i think that
the community has got plenty of courage, and that ARIN management has got
plenty of competence.

if you think something's not fair, make a policy proposal to fix it.  if you
can get public support then it'll mean others agree as to what is/isn't fair.

note, i am an ARIN Trustee as well as president of ISC (an ARIN Member.)
