[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-131: Section 5.0 Legacy Addresses

[STARNES, CURTIS]

Ok, now I have a question about your response regarding ARIN membership.

We are an end-user with a /42 IPv6 address block and an ASN assigned to us, which we pay end-user fees for.
According to the membership defined page (https://www.arin.net/participate/membership/member.html ) this qualifies my organization to be a General Member of ARIN.

According to your statement below, my organization is not a member of ARIN?
We have received and paid for direct allocation of IP address space.
So, am I missing something here?

Marty,

I support the proposal. I understand William's concern. Would a change to the text to read “will be made available for allocation and assignment within the ARIN Region.“ work?

Hi Marty,

Although end-user registrants, legacy-only registrants and registrants holding only non-IP resources may become ARIN members by paying an additional $500/year, they rarely do. With a few exceptions, only ISPs are ARIN members.

The basic difference between a member and a non-member is that members can vote in the elections while everybody else merely receives resources.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
