<p class="MsoNormal">So Alyssa’s answer are correct or rather were. ARIN, in fact, fulfilled all requests that were on the waitlist during the 4<sup>th</sup> Qtr distribution (completed first week of January). Currently there are 25 organizations approved and
added to the waitlist since that time. So basically, if the policy being petitioned was successful and if the policy was then ratified by the Board, and if all 24 of the organizations that could meet the terms of the policy then they would receive their distribution
prior to those 25 organizations currently on the waitlist. Based on projected inventory for the 1<sup>st</sup> quarter distribution to be held in late March, all current organizations on the waitlist today would be unaffected.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I realize there are a lot of “if’s” in there but at this time there is no way know what exactly will be the outcome. In saying that it is clear that no one on the waitlist today would be negatively affected.

<br>
Thank you. Have we heard from the other 25? If all of these were <br>
fulfilled, what percentage of existing inventory would be consumed. All <br>
of it? It seems reasonable to me that the same kinds of considerations <br>
apply in this case as "2 packages of toilet paper per customer" when the <br>
pandemic hit. This feeling becomes particularly acute when considering <br>
both that the waitlist address pool was only replenished after the <br>
recovery of addresses from those who acquired them fraudulently, and that <br>
precedent to that, the waitlist mechanism suffered from no available <br>
inventory.<br>
<br>
I will, however, reserve voicing an opinion until I fully understand the <br>
effects of the outcome on the available address pool, in both scenarios.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Scott<br>
