Steve - You get the same support either way, and you received responses each time you asked throughout the years on how to correct the discrepancy. I am glad it has been resolved, but I assure you that "being a member" would have made no difference on your ability to get correct your association with an organization record. > The relevance is: as stated in the review report, you have over 11,000 ASN > only organizations who are not members of ARIN.

The ARIN Board of Trustees has provided that those who hold IPv4 or IPv6 number resources and have a registration services agreement with ARIN are eligible to be ARIN members. Note that ISPs are paying annual registration service fees that start at $500/year (per the Current fee schedule) and that includes ARIN membership (note that end-users and legacy address holders with IPv4 resources are also eligible to become ARIN Members for a $500 annual fee.) Being an ARIN Member doesn't change the registry services one receives, but does allow one to vote in ARIN elections, nominate individuals to the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, and participate in the ARIN Discuss Mailing List.
