<br>I will suggest that §10(b) be slightly amended to read, "ARIN will
take no action to reduce the services provided for Included Number
Resources, whether utilized by the Legacy Applicant or not." I think
that would more accurately reflect the intent with which it was
apparently written, and would alleviate a big concern of many unsigned
legacy holders. I'll correspond to ARIN Counsel with that
recommendation; my thanks to those who provided pointers.<br>
<br>I'm surprised §10(b) in specific isn't more frequently pointed to
when these concerns come up. In its intent, at least, it removes a big
worry many legacy holders seem to have. Perhaps better illumination
and clarification of that clause can help us all reach higher comfort
levels.<br>
