    Return email submitted templates as an option for interacting with
    RSD. ARIN's Online submission process is overly cumbersome and
    actively inhibits me from aiding my customers in interacting with
    ARIN. With a template, I can discuss information with my customer
    offline prior to involving ARIN. I can complete ARIN templates for
    my customer prior to my customers submitting them to ARIN. Templates
    add value to an ISP in educating our customers and an option to our
    three-party communication that streamlines the ARIN request process.<br>

    Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2013.1 upon receipt, to

    <br>
    I would like to point out that your request is similar to the

    request and note that your suggestion will be combined with 2012.1.
    We will also note in suggestion 2012.1 that similar functionality
