What they've done is change my opinion from neutral (hence why I've not 
commended on this policy before) to oppose, because I believe these 
actions show that Stratus may be conspiring to commit fraud through 
manufactured support of a policy for their own benefit, and not the 
benefit of the community.

As such I now *oppose* adoption of ARIN-2020-2 because I believe it's in 
the community's best interest not to grant special favors to orgs by 
grandfathering then when they were approved under a flawed policy.
