My interpretation was what Randy implied, and that ARIN wants an agreement with everyone who gets a (presumably unique to the agreement) TAL to protect ARIN. That would seem like a lot of overhead to maintain to me (since as I recall a TAL may never, ever (ok, very rarely) change), but then appropriate risk management has always been an interesting thing to watch in the (potentially litigious) ARIN region.
