ARIN in the past has interpreted such ambiguity in favor of allowing whatever is not expressly prohibited. As such, I don't think this language accomplishes the original intent, and would oppose it.</div><div><br></div><div>-Scott</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div><div><div><div><div><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.6em;line-height:1.5"><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"><i>*please note that the online version of the policy proposal reads "solely primarily" instead of "primarily".
