Remember Michael was talking about University and State Government 
counsel not necessarily corporate counsel, there are many differences in 
these organizations.  Not the least of which is that Universities and State 
Governments are bureaucracies that are frequently 100 to 200 years old 
and have special immunities in the law.  The contractual risk profile for them 
is completely different than the typical resource holder, legacy or otherwise.  

However, ARIN counsel seems to understand the unique legal issues of 
Universities and State Agencies.  He even stated in the Denver session on 
the LRSA, that he can work with Universities and State Agencies to find 
proper language for the typical legal issues Universities and State Agencies 
have.
