<br>
I continue to OPPOSE this proposal because: <br>
<br>
A) It asks ARIN to facilitate blatant and unapologetic rent-seeking <br>
behavior with changes to public policy. <br>
<br>
B) It proposes that third parties perform precisely and only the <br>
functions that ARIN itself performs without any credible compliance <br>
mechanism to assure the third party performs to ARIN's standards or in <br>
accordance with the community's established number policy. <br>

Bill Herrin <br>
