[arin-ppml] {Spam?} Re: Open Letter Regarding 650% Rate-Hike for Legacy Users

[Owen DeLong]

Let me be clear…

I do not feel that the overall costs of operating ARIN at this time are unreasonable.

I do feel that the apportionment of fees in the new system is very unfair to certain registrants.

Nobody is getting rich working at ARIN. John Curran is the face of the organization and it's his job to answer these questions. It may not be his job to answer _every_ question, but speaking for myself: I have zero issue with his pay and duties.
