Okay, I'll take care of adding the RFC and the links.

As for the status of ARIN, there are still a few issues that will
need to be resolved before we can proceed.  These are political/
financial issues between NSF and NSI.

I know we projected an April operational date, obviously we will 
not be making that.  Please be patient with us, while these details are
worked out.  We need to make sure everything is done right, even if it
takes longer than planned.

Thanks,

Kim
