Ronald - If you are correct in your assertions, then the organization will have made a representation of significant connection to the ARIN region in order to be issued number resources (despite having no such connection) – that would indeed constitute a fraud in the request for Internet number resources. 2) I could perhaps just be mis-remembering now, but it is my recollection that the last time I inquired about the nature of any possible follow-up which ARIN might undertake upon its conclusion of any investigation of any case submitted via ARIN's fraud reporting form that neither the original reporter, not the ARIN membership, nor the ARIN community, nor the public at large would ever be informed of the results of any inquiry that had been trigged by a fraud report submitted to ARIN. ARIN issues quarterly summaries of the results of investigation into fraud reports – https://www.arin.net/reference/tools/fraud_report/results/ This reports are not detailed as they nearly always represent a matter which is legal in nature and pending final determination. 3) The case of 1337 Services LLC (SL-206), which I have gone to some lengths to carefully research and document, raises a host of other questions and concerns about ARIN's ability and willingness to enforce existing ratified policies. It is my feeling that you, John, as CEO, should openly address these concerns and questions, and not simply endeavor to bury them all behind the opaque wall of silence that would seem to be ARIN's formalized "fraud" reporting process. ARIN will not publicly discuss details of specific requests for number resources, but does welcome reports of possible fraud and investigates them fully. Best wishes, /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers
