[arin-ppml] LRSA concerns (Re: Policy Proposal: Whois Integrity Policy Proposal)

[Owen DeLong]

Some of this attorney's comments may be fair criticism. IANAL,
so, I'm not sure about the issues in question.

I do note, however, that some comments show some
misunderstanding of the ARIN process and who/what ARIN is...

To wit:

If anyone affected by this chooses to subscribe to PPML, arin-discuss,
or the ARIN notification email list, they will receive such  
notification.
However, ARIN doesn't require the signatories to subscribe to such
notifications if they do not want to. It is impossible for an ARIN  
policy
to change without notice if the entity in question chooses to avail
themselves of the information.
