RE: Waiver of IP and AS Number Transfer Fees

["jnelson" <jnelson () rackspace com>]

Hey, I'll be the first to laugh it up about some of ARIN's oldschool
GM-style practices, but let's not knock the staff there... I've had
nothing but good experiences with the front-liners (billing and
support). And I believe your cry has been heard and this clean-up and
the template revision are merely portions of their restructuring.

Michael its simple ARIN is staffed by a bunch of people who have no
concept
of business or reality. There reality is based on outmoded ideals
enforced
on them, so no wonder people do not want to go through the abuse of
dealing
with them.

I've never really come around to fully understand the notion (more and
more common, it seems) of _selling_ such..? (Maybe I'm an idealist :)

I would hope so, in a general perspective.
