<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">ARIN is a Monopoly. As a Monopoly ARIN does not have the right to refuse assignment solely because this community has participated in commenting on a policy. The phone company who also is a monopoly cannot
deny me a phone line just because the other folks who already have a phone don’t want me to have one or even a second one.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also, I have requested that the policy I proposed be entered and considered by this community and I expect that you or whoever will make that happen. I have no experience with that so I will need help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would hope that ARIN would Champion someone like me who is trying to go thru proper ARIN channels for resources, instead of forcing someone like me to go around it. By denying reasonable requests like mine,
ARIN is forcing organizations like mine to participate in back-channel IP markets outside of ARIN which per your many comments on the subject – you don’t want to happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It is my opinion that ARIN really doesn’t have authority over Legacy resources that are not under contract with ARIN but that isn’t what is happening here. I am going thru proper ARIN channels to obtain needed
resources and ARIN is refusing to allocate those resources to me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have a need for resources and I HAVE TO FILL THEM TO STAY IN BUSINESS. Is ARIN going to honor its Mission Statement and allocate the resources we need or not?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also there are a lot of folks out there who are a member of this community. Many have privately told me that they agree with me but I don’t see them commenting publicly. I assume they have tried in the past
without success and have given up trying. I would ask them to break their silence and contribute their comments to this subject so that all of the community out there can be heard and not just the vocal minority.
