<div class="">That was your choice: you could have consolidated into a single billing relationship if you wished or opted (as you did) to maintain distinct billing relationships in which each relationship was billed for services for a distinct and non-overlapping
set of resources. </div>

No, I didn’t want to be bifurcated in the first place… I was given no choice in that, nor was I given the option of vacating the LRSA in light of this material adverse change.</div>

You had the option to consolidate to a single billing relationship for all of the resources, but choose not to do so. </div>

<div>I shan’t belabor the point further, but rather reiterate that continued assertion of “double charging” by ARIN (under circumstances where you chose to maintain two distinct billing relationships) can only be seen as an intentional misrepresentation and
is specifically prohibited by the mailing list AUP. </div>
