    Staff understands that the process for an organization to change its
    name with ARIN is not well documented or understood, and that
    additional detail is much needed. We will review our current website
    documentation to determine where to best document this process,
    taking your suggestions into consideration. We should be able to
    have something completed within the next 30 days.<br>
