btw, it's 2,901 members; I was rounding:

I checked, and except for the  numbers above, interactions 
aren't tracked by size category.  We could implement a system to 
allow data mining, but it would either take time (more labor cost) 
or potentially distract from other priorities.

Which is not to say no, exactly, but to suggest that people look
at the presentations next week (which will be available online,
webcast http://www.arin.net/ARIN-XX/webcast.html or archives a
later http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/index.html ) and help
decide what ARIN's priorities should be.

For the record, this arin-discuss mailing list is the correct
place to discuss those priorities.
