Those are entirely fair points John, and you're absolutely right. Given what you've said, I have no reason or basis to object to the very reasonable requirement that that a suggestion to change the particulars of the current vetting process should (and must) follow the established process. And I do not object to doing that. And you're absolutely right that everyone should have a fair chance to comment on any such suggestion. So I'll persue the formal route and the formal and established process. I can do no other. The only other comment that I have at the moment is that I find you comments most helpfully clarifying. Perhaps I should have already realized it, but I did not actually realize until now that ARIN actually had an established or formal "position on reviewing organizational incorporation papers". Would it be in any sense inaccurate to say that ARIN's established position in this instance is simply: "We don't do that" ? I only ask, because, if I'm going to submit a formal "suggestion" to -change- the current ARIN position, I should probably at least make myself aware of what the current postion actually is.
