Michael - Are you saying that these principles should apply
(and ARIN should embody these in any system it proposes) or
that it's your preference that ARIN should seek to have the
SEC rules apply, and specifically encourage SEC enforcement?

As mentioned early, it does not appear that the security or
commodities market regulations would govern anything in
this space (but we will, of course, get a formal opinion of any
recommended policy proposal).  If you are recommending
the answer to transparency *should be* SEC enforcement,
please be explicit.

Thanks,
