[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-208 Reduce All Minimum Allocation/Assignment Units to /24

Mon May 5 22:31:04 EDT 2014

Actually, Bill, it's not. There are significant changes in the tone and
tenor and therefore how it will be interpreted and how people familiar with
the previous iteration will now have to adapt to figure out how to satisfy
the borg with this iteration. It may appear easy, that the staff is super
helpful and non discriminate. That's not the case at all. ARIN does not
treat everyone equal and when you change policy with thirty some-odd
changes, you change everything.

BTW, When is the last time you asked ARIN for a significant chunk of
resources?

Best,
