Ever notice the only folks happy with the status quo are the few who
have
already have an intimate knowledge of the ARIN allocation process,
and/or
have the right political connections to resolve the "issues" that come
up
when dealing with them?
In this case, the "right political connections" means that we go to the ARIN public policy meetings, participate on the ARIN Public Policy mailing list http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/ppml and work to get changes to ARIN policies approved. Like any other kind of politics, you lose some and you win some because, in the end, ARIN doesn't do things my way or your way. That's the politics of compromise.
Try looking at it from an outsider's point of view instead. If you're
new
to dealing with ARIN, it is not uncommon to find the process is
absolutely
baffling, frustrating, slow, expensive, and requiring intrusive
disclosure
just shy of an anal cavity probe.
Sounds like my very first time trying to get an IP network functioning between an SCO Xenix server and a bunch of DOS and Windows 3.0 workstations. Education and experience do work wonders to solve this problem. --Michael Dillon
