This is one of those areas where people of good conscience can disagree.

I absolutely feel it is ARINs job as a steward of resources held in trust for the community
to exercise due diligence in the issuance of those resources and to revoke them when
fraud is detected.

It may not be ARIN’s job to catch 100% of the liars out there, but it is certainly important
that we do not hamstring ARIN in their ability to protect the community from the liars
and the fraudsters to the extent possible.

I am opposed to the proposal.
