1. In step #1 add reference the the name change process at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/resources/request/org.html#name_change">https://www.arin.net/resources/request/org.html#name_change</a><br>
2. Rephrase step #6 removing reference to "name change"<br>
3. Also consider adding a pointer to the legal name change process
on the ORG ID template.<br>
