Regional Internet registries were established predominantly for distribution</div>

<div>The runout of the regional free pool does not change the reasoning behind</div>
<div>why regional Internet registries help with administration; i.e. providing local</div>

<div>“ARIN transform itself” is probably better said as “The ARIN community</div>
<div>should perhaps discuss the need for the RIR system structure to evolve,</div>
<div>and discussion next steps in this evolution.”, i.e. ARIN staff cannot lead</div>
<div>such discussions; it it up to the global numbers community to discuss and </div>
<div>build consensus on how to best evolve the system.</div>
