Yes, I think we all know that.

Yes, I think we all know that.

You left out "...by the national governments of those jurisdictions."

Believe me when I say that I am well and truly aware of the fact that
the national governments of Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados,
Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Nevis & St. Kitts, the British Virgin Islands,
and even some U.S. States decline to provide information about the officers,
directors, shareholders, and/or beneficial of corporate entities registered
in those jurisdictions.  In fact it is my hope that everyone on this list
is well aware of that.

But what has any of that got to do with ARIN?
