this suggestion and may, as a result, possibly raise it for ARIN
Board consideration. As you are probably are aware, ARIN places
reasonable terms and conditions on those that participate in the
Specified Transfer Listing Service. The question is whether
those terms can be extended to govern participant contact in
non-ARIN forums such as NANOG, IETF, etc. Additionally, spam
violations are often difficult to determine due to the abundance
of social media and corresponding contact information on the
Internet.</span><span
