    ARIN obviously does not require you “to break the law”, but to be able to further
    pursue this matter we’re going to need a bit more information. 
    
    Do you have a reference for the particular law or rulemaking proceeding that 
    the WISPA lawyers assert is in conflict?   I would be happy to speak with them
    directly if that would help – email me appropriate contact information when you
    have a moment.

Thanks!
