What are the roles of Network Solutions and the InterNIC? NSIs role is to sponsor ARIN, providing assistance to its establishment and providing initial support of ARIN until ARIN is self-funding. Once this is achieved, there will be no ties--financial, management or other--between the two organizations. ARIN will be an independent, non-profit organization responding to its membership. " Since it is not yet self-funding, what, exactly, part is untrue of my statement?
I don't claim to have the definitive answer but this FAQ was written when the plan was for NSI to donate a pile of money to finance the first year of ARIN operations. But I believe that this plan fell through and this financing never happened. Even if it had happened, ARIN is an independent non-profit corporation meaning that there are no shareholders other than the members therefore there is no outside control like you find in the corporate world. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael () memra com
