[Danny Whittenburg]

I have one question about all the threads going back and forth. Is anyone from ARIN reading these?

Naysayer: Won't happen, boys club benefit and all that

Optimistic Internet Person:  Not withstanding the example companies
above, fingers need to be pointed at many different organizations and
requests to them could be done to help create internal and positive
feedback ending in equality to how each member is treated.

Reality: Unless you are one of the members of the club, you will jump
through hoops and do much paperwork to justify your 'net existence.

As I mentioned yesterday, this topic is a repeat topic, and will
continue to repeat until changes occur.

And going physically to a meeting was never a requirement to be heard.
