Mark - 

Agreed: operationally it should be relatively straightforward with most installation tools, but ARIN could help 
significantly be making it clear this sort of approach is acceptable with its service terms and detailing any specific 
requirements (as none of that is clear at present.) 

I’m working on this issue now, and should be able to report back shortly regarding specifics necessary to allow easier 
access to the ARIN TAL during package installation. 

Thanks!
