[arin-ppml] Summary: lowering the ARIN minimum allocation

[Davis, Terry L]

Bill/Leo

Also down the road on the IPv6 vein, a couple things some of the corporate (Enterprise not ISP) legal beagles need to review and discuss, relate to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) reporting and critical infrastructure sectors.

- From some reading and visiting with different corporate audit folks, SOX may require corporate dual-homing and PIA space to meet their obligations to their stockholders as the lack of either places them in a position that their "business continuity" would rely on a single provider.

- Likewise looking at the "critical infrastructure sectors", some of the sector regulations coming out look to have the same general guidance/requirements.

Hopefully some of the legal and regulatory folks might eventually provide some solid answers here on these potentially emerging issues.  But if either is going to be the case, we will need to consider how to meet that condition.

Take care
Terry
