    Thank you for implementing most of the billing enhancements
    requested in my previous suggestion (ACSP 2011.16). I would like to
    offer the following additional suggested enhancements to facilitate
    bulk management of billing records for ARIN ORGs:<br>
    <br>
    On the list of ORG IDs for Billing Info page, show also next to each
    ORG the current billing status and, if applicable, amount due.<br>
    Add a new report (like the Associations Report) to obtain the
    invoice history and account status for all linked ORGs.<br>
    Provide a mechanism for updating the billing information across a
    group of ORGs at one time without having to enter the information
    separately for each ORG.<br>
    These changes will make it easier for those who are responsible for
    managing ARIN resources for multiple ORGs to have simpler and easier
    access to the billing information for those entities. Making billing
    management easier means faster and more efficient payments to ARIN.<br>
