	To the best of my knowledge, ARIN is. But not according to 
	the IAB/IESG guidelines. With the adoption of the IAB/IESG 
	guidelines, ARIN will be aligned with the other registries.

	RIPE & APNIC are delegating according to IAB/IESG guidelines.
	And the discussion on the v6wg list supports a consensus opinion
	that the IAB/IESG recommendations be adopted. This was considered
	by the ARIN AC and was sent to the Board. ARINs president just
	made the announcment that ARIN is adopting the IAB/IESG recommendation
	modulo operational experience. If you feel that ARIN should not 
	adopt the IAB/IESG recommendations, please add your reasoned 
	discussion to the list.
