One of the difficulties with different categories of policy is that it is inevitably based on past service/business models, and hence does not necessarily map well to the quickly evolving Internet. One can either enumerate specific cases or establish guidelines that are fairly general in nature. In this case, we effectively have a set of guidelines for what an end-user organization is, based on the definitions in the number resource policy manual. If folks feel that there are better criteria today as to whether an organization is an ISP vs end-user, then it would be good to propose a policy change accordingly <https://www.arin.net/participate/how_to_participate.html> Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
