Re: E-mail from ARIN ref. Legacy Registration Services

[John <jgarner () SFASU EDU>]

Yes, we received one. I read the faq at ARIN and have not yet decided what
to do. I will involve legal counsel before proceeding even though this will
induce a delay.

Yes, it does seem to apply to our educational community (see faq #1)


At first blush it seems a no brainer to register. $100/year to ensure we
keep our IPv4 space up to date and chip in for the whois services etc. but
my ignorance is vast regarding any legal issues.

Joy,
John

We received a rather odd e-mail from ARIN.NET this week (excerpt below).
It's not clear to me what this is about.  Did anyone else received one?
Should we send it on to our legal Council? Ignore it? Apply for it?  Does
it even apply to Colleges and Universities?

This is outside my domain of knowledge which, I admit, is growing
smaller by the hour (grin).
