That's me, Mr. Outlier. >> On Sep 13, 2013, at 11:59 AM, William Herrin <[email protected]> wrote: >>> More importantly: why not? > > At a minimum, NRPM 2.6 ("End-user" definition) would need to be > changed to recognize IP address assignments to individuals - > > "2.6 An end-user is an organization receiving assignments of IP > addresses exclusively for use in its operational networks." An organization is some number of people acting on concert towards a common goal. One is an acceptable number. Given Citizens United and the history of similar rulings, I'm pretty sure I can make that claim stick. Besides which, I presume ARIN doesn't refuse to do business with sole proprietorships. A sole proprietorship has no legal existence separate from the single individual who owns it. With minor exceptions (Bob's Bait and Tackle can't get married or adopt children) a proprietorship is legally synonymous with its owner. What else ya got? :) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
