	Internic... "The InterNIC is a cooperative activity between the 
National Science Foundation, Network Solutions, Inc. and AT&T. 
Explore employment opportunities at the InterNIC, or read news and 
announcements.  Network Solutions sponsors Registration Services, Support 
Services, and Net Scout Services. AT&T supports Directory and Database Services."

	Do you have a copy of the template or a pointer online. I've checked :

http://docs.rinet.ru/MIIS/ch4.htm - Network Version Number 2.0 of the 
template ftp://rs.internic.net/templates/internet-number-template.txt
that I could find still searchable. It might have been hacked up for 
that presentation.

ftp://ftp.stben.net/pub/rfc/internic-ip-1.txt - Version 1.0 of the
"INTERNIC IP ALLOCATION GUIDELINES FOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS"

ftp://ftp.stben.net/pub/rfc/internic-ip-2.txt - Version 2.0 of an
NDA for "PROPRIETARY INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH IP ADDRESS ALLOCATION"
I think I sent in to Kim Hubbard.

http://web.archive.org/web/19961220083042/http://rs.internic.net/ - 
Wayback copy of the rs.internic.net from LATE 1996.I checked under
Registration Services in "About Registration Services and the InternNIC",
"Help desk/policies" and "Registration Forms" and I couldn't find anything 
about losing them. As best I can see for requirements, besides those
outlines in the internet-number-template.txt that I saw a copy online
of, is :

"Network number assignments are made when a network POC (point of contact) 
completes the template in ftp://rs.internic.net/templates/internet-number-template.txt 
and returns the template to hostmaster at internic.net."

	You also have to remember, this was back when the net way young, as was
I. :) Our society wasn't as litigious as it is now, and the net was still a bit untamed.
They probably figured that "The InterNIC Registry, under the authority of the Internet 
Assigned Numbers Authority, allocates blocks of IP address space to Internet Service
Providers (ISP) for the purpose of using that space with their customers." was the
bulk of the legalese they needed to put in.
