The ARIN AC has worked closely with both Steve Ryan, ARIN Council
and Ben Edelman, who many saw at the last meeting for his Economics
background, but in addition to his PhD in economics also has a J.D.
from Harvard Law and is admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.  They
both provided significant input that the AC used to better craft
the policy language to strengthen ARIN's legal position were this
policy to be adopted.

That's not to say they don't have some concerns.  Nothing is 100%
in law, particularly when there is limited case law on the subject.
I believe both will be at the Denver meeting able to answer questions
about legal risk.  As with all policies, ARIN Council will generate
a legal review of the policy prior to the meeting which should both
be posted to PPML and reviewed at the meeting.

I strongly urge anyone with legal concerns to either come to Denver,
or participate remotely.
