    So: Officially, three suggestions:<br>
    <br>
    1. Immediately bring back resource request templates for the
    convenience<br>
    of those of us<br>
    who understand and liked them.<br>
    <br>
    2. Fix the deficiencies mentioned above in the ARIN on-line process.<br>
    <br>
    3. Spend some time having a good UI designer go through ARIN on-line
    with<br>
    a fine-tooth<br>
    comb and generally improve the over all user experience.<br>
    <br>
    BACKGROUND:<br>
    <br>
    Per Mark Kosters:<br>
    <br>
    Hi Owen<br>
    <br>
    I have two suggestions for you. One is to create a ACSP to improve
    the<br>
    interaction. Another is to start a discussion on arin-tech-discuss
    as ARIN<br>
    engineers hang out there. I think opening it up for discussion would
    be a<br>
    good thing.<br>
    <br>
    It is up to you.<br>
    <br>
    Mark<br>

    This blows [ARIN On-Line resource requests compared to templates]<br>
    <br>
    OK, so, we can't do stuff with templates any more, that's bad
    enough.<br>
    <br>
    However, not getting real responses to tickets and having to click
    on a<br>
    URL to go review<br>
    the ticket history where the latest stuff shows up in the middle of
    the<br>
    web page presented<br>
    is even worse.<br>
    <br>
    DO NOT WANT<br>

    While suggestion 2012.21 remains open pending the implementation of
    changes from a user interface / usability assessment of the ARIN
    website, the specific issue of resource request templates is a
    duplicate of suggestion 2012.1. This was determined after discussion
    with Owen.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
