The text of the Suggestion is available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-24.html ARIN will issue an initial response within 10 business days. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) **** Suggestion:* Title: 2014.24: FILE FORMATS FOR ARIN FORMS Description: I'm very pleased how flexible ARIN staff is in receiving documentation in a variety of file formats and types. This is suggestion is relatively minor but should be easy to implement: when ARIN staff attach an ARIN form to a ticket, such as an Office Attestation, rather than assume the ticket submitter has access to Microsoft Word (i.e. officer-attest.doc), perhaps an HTTP link to both Word and (editable) Adobe Acrobat documents can be provided, or attach both versions to the ticket. Value to Community: Makes the form(s) more accessible to more of the community on more platforms and operating systems. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
