Re: Note - ARIN Consultation on proposed Registration Services Agreement Now Open

[Sandra Murphy <sandy () tislabs com>]

There’s been no comment on this announcement on this list, but there were a small handful of NANOGers who energetically 
discussed this on the arin-consult list starting mid-August.

On the last day of the comment period (so you might have missed it), a detailed comment was submitted, which focussed 
on the impact to legacy resource holders and those who acquire addresses in the transfer market.

I’m not sure how many people on this list would have been following a discussion of the ARIN RSA, but there might be 
some who would find legacy and transfer focussed comments to be interesting.

So in case you missed it:
