For those who don't remember it, that started here: http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2009-March/013157.html Policy statement: Insert into the ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual as follows: Add Section 2.8: “Organization. An Organization is one or more legal entities under common control or ownership.” The staff assessment was: 1. In section 2.8, the term organization is defined as one “parent” organization be responsible for all of its associated companies’ or subsidiaries’ interactions with ARIN. Today ARIN allows companies and their subsidiaries to open multiple accounts in order to accommodate their network needs, completely independent of their organization/legal structure. If this definition is applied exactly as written, it could affect many policies in NRPM that contain the term organization and could also affect ARIN’s customers ability to manage their networks independently. B. ARIN General Counsel Counsel has no position on the definition of organization. As you can infer from the NRPM, the proposed section 2.8 was not retained in the adopted version. -Bill -- William D. Herrin ................
