I have no dog in this fight. I just have a simple (naive?) question:<br>
<br>
Would it be possible for ARIN to establish some kind of de minimis<br>
validation/authentication fee, enough to cover its costs, but not<br>
involving the acceptance of a complete LRSA?<br></blockquote><div><div dir="ltr"><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">I'm not sure a de minimis fee would be appropriate, the users without contracts represent a higher legal risk to ARIN. I believe this risk is probably as much or more of an issue as the cost of the service themselves.</div><div dir="ltr"> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
(As I said, I have no dog in this fight. I'm just wondering if there<br>
is any middle ground that would be acceptable to all.)<br></blockquote></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">===============================================<br>David Farmer <a href="mailto:Email%3Afarmer@umn.edu" target="_blank">Email:farmer@umn.edu</a><br>Networking & Telecommunication Services<br>Office of Information Technology<br>University of Minnesota <br>2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815<br>Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952<br>===============================================</div></div></div></div>
