<div>Please address the question, so that we can prepare an adequate policy review </div>
<div>materials on the policy proposal: Do you intend that the "replacement directory </div>
<div>services" would fully conform with ARIN's number resource policies, or not? This</div>
<div>may have to be clarified in the policy proposal before it can be further considered.</div>

<div>Thanks for your clarification, John. Perhaps I understand you correctly now. To rephrase what I hear you saying: As a result of RIR recognition by ICANN per ICP-2, ARIN has a responsibility to apply address management policy to all organizations within
their region, and is not permitted to allow anybody to opt-out of that policy. Have I captured your meaning correctly?</div>

No, I indicated that ARIN would need to apply policies in a fair and equitable </div>
<div>manner to "replacement directory services" just they apply to ISPs in the region.</div>
