Well, to me charging a fee for a service is like selling a good. There
actually is no difference, just another way to express the same idea. But to
remain politically correct, ARIN is not selling IP addresses, they are
allocating them to people against a fee. So that's the same with AOL
charging a fee for the usage of their greeting card service, they are not
selling ecards!
As it seems the ground GQHS is on is its own region since no one (even not
RIPE) feels responsible. Maybe I should ask IANA whether we can become our
own RIR since the need / geographical size ratio appears to be the same as
in any other RIR region. But I would like to try to amend the policy though,
to make educational institutions eligible for a free allocation in the ARIN
region, since we will open a new campus in Michigan (a state in ARIN's
region) next year.
Hope that answers all of your questions, Brian.

I'm confused. Shouldn't Christopher be talking to someone at RIPE-NCC?
Even though he is on some kind of "US territory", it is within the RIPE
region, isn't it?
It also seems that he doesn't understand the basic operation of a RIR.
He believes he is purchasing addresses and that ARIN "sells" address
space.
Am I reading him wrong?
