If not, though calling them members of the community seems a stretch. They should be stakeholders, but they aren't treated that way. Sure we can contribute on a list, but that is only a first small step in inclusion.

  Anyone can be elected to the ARIN Board or ARIN AC.

  I don't know if that's actually the case (that the community
  considers your behavior illegitimate); if you feel that you 
  must be judged, then I'd stay with adopted policy as the basis.  
  Aside from responding to requests to validate your Whois contact 
  periodically, you're likely to continue to use your IP block 
  unchanged from how you've been doing so over the years.

I am still concerned for those who would not be allowed to clean up their act because as opposed to being legacies, they acquired from legacies. But I will address the many good arguments people have made in the last weeks once I get back to a real laptop and am no longer trying to live by tablet alone.


Look forward to your participation!
