I may have missed this but I'm not sure why are you are coming to ARIN as GQHS
is not located in an ARIN region but in RIPEs. <br>

<br>
Why doesn't ARIN allocate GQHS a bunch of /20 addresses for the purpose of a<br>
quasi-ISP service and we assign /24 addresses to verified educational<br>
institutions for a much smaller fee?<br>
<br>
That would be a possible solution. It doesn't cause ARIN any costs and all<br>
fees would be directly and entirely submitted to ARIN. Also, In the end ARIN<br>
could maybe receive more from fees of several smaller sub allocations than<br>
from one larger allocation.<br>
<br>
Another preference is that there would be no address space fragmentation on<br>
the RIR level, GQHS would figure as a LIR except for the fact that ARIN fees<br>
would be sub delegated to charged by GQHS.<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to receive comments on this idea.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

Sincerely yours,<br>

ARIN manages the IP space for its region based on the consent of its<br>
members and the governments in that region.<br>
<br>
ARINs finances are a matter of public record - you can find them on the<br>
ARIN web site.<br>
<br>
As for your proposal to replace ARIN with GQHS, I for one, would like to<br>
see the dialog between you/GQHS and the IANA as a matter of public record.<br>
<br>
If you would like to change the ARIN proceedures for address allocation and<br>
stewardship - the process is open and available to all. You just have to<br>
convince others to agree with you on your well thought out, viable<br>
alternative.<br>
<br>
Please ensure that you either cover all the things ARIN does or find other<br>
parties to take on those roles.<br>
<br>
