John/Steve, Bill makes a reasonable point here. Is there a way to, in the next round of LRSA mods, include something to the effect of: Under the ARIN Policy Development Process, the board will not ratify any policy which exclusively affects LRSA signatories in a manner inconsistent with its effect on other resource holders. === That's probably not ideal wording, but, I hope it conveys the general idea and I hope smarter people can find better language. It does seem to me to be a reasonable request and consistent with the intent of the LRSA. If you prefer that I submit this via ACSP I will do so. However, it seems to me it could fall within the same scope as the other clarification John offered earlier. Owen
