ARIN does not have a hard non-discriminatory requirement. This is why there's a policy process. Which is why we have this proposal.
I don't believe the problem statement demonstrates a need for a change. The existing process doesn't "limit access". It sets a condition. The applicant can adhere to requirements and get resources as a result. Because there isn't a local requirement to forn an entity, register or get a business certificate that doesn't automagically invalidate the ARIN requirement. Comparing to another RIR isn't relevant; ARIN business processes and obligations are different and so are community expectations. Most importantly, the proposal doesn't identify any actual harm caused by existing policy. +continue to work on Warm regards, -M< On Sat, Jul 12, 2025 at 2:48 AM jordi.palet--- via ARIN-PPML <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Noah, > > Not accepting this policy will be a discrimination. > > The RIRs were created to distribute resources.
