Question: Does this change affect in any way the services provided by ARIN to legacy holders who are not under (L)RSA? The new wording proposed for section 2 doesn't seem to account for that category. My thought is to simply delete 4.2.1.2 and be done with it. Does the NRPM need to include a definition of the RSA?
