<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>There's an "Unofficial - ARIN" Facebook group you can yell at. I've been suggesting that members don't get enough privilege for years exactly for the reason John mentioned ($$) and a members only mailing list is a good start. $0.02. In the RIPE region, there's a private members session where the public gets booted. If anything, ARIN is too open which allows it to blame the community for everything. :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>-M<</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 7:05 PM William Herrin <<a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us">bill@herrin.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 3:56 PM John Curran <<a href="mailto:jcurran@arin.net" target="_blank">jcurran@arin.net</a>> wrote:<br>

Or I could continue to discuss such topics on PPML like we've been<br>
doing for the last quarter century and if you take exception to it we<br>
can start a discussion about whether ARIN intends to tighten<br>
