ARIN is again being problematic.



We have some legacy resources that were registered back in the bad old days
of the 1990's and are trying to bring them under the ARIN RSA.



We also have resources that are already registered under the proper
organization, but want them under our existing RSA.



They are asking for a document showing that the company is in good standing.
We attached the document but they refuse to accept it and are giving us the
run-around. We already certified this back in 2024. The ARIN consultant
simply went on the state website and was able to see the company was in good
standing. Now they want a document that doesn't exist (state provides no
such document).



The other two three orgs that we are trying to merge into  our current OrgId
- those may be a bit more difficult - being registered back when you sent
Jon Postel an e-mail template to get space.



Look, we are trying to give them MORE money (the fee will go up if we add
those IP4 resources to our existing RSA). Hard to believe they are this
difficult.



If there is any management from ARIN on this list, please contact me.



Thanks

John
