Paul,

Since ARIN proposes to be involved in IP Address "management".

Can you give us a break-down of how IP Addresses
have been allocated to the companies at the "cross roads"...?

Also, can you describe the specific IPv4 address blocks
that ARIN proposes to manage ? Along, with that, can you
supply proof that ARIN owns those address blocks ?
