<DIV>As someone actively seeking them out, perhaps you could organize a few of
them to</DIV>
<DIV>undertake a simpler (but quite worthwhile) activity?
Specifically, the task of participating </DIV>
<DIV>remotely in the next ARIN public policy consultation and showing support
for those policy </DIV>
<DIV>changes that reflect their perspective? Tens of thousands is
not necessary; even a few </DIV>
<DIV>dozen that cared enough to participate could likely significantly change
the outcome of the</DIV>
<DIV>policy development process.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>

<DIV>Hi John,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Early on in my list participation I considered the option of actively
soliciting like-minded participants to post to the list. I probably could post
to Reason magazine or some other libertarian venue. But I didn’t feel
comfortable doing that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, what you are suggesting is something different, and I have
recently begun to solicit such support in a gentle way on my website. Believe it
or not there is a lot of fear of ARIN and many who are most affected by the
needs-test barrier to transfer are looking to make whatever deal works for them.
You can understand why they don’t want their visibility raised by posting
support for removing needs transfers in a venue so assiduously monitored by
ARIN’s CEO! <IMG class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile"

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also I often have problems with remote participation, I am jabber-ignorant
and usually have issues with that.</DIV>
