I can assure you that based on my own experiences in very large
companies that I'd have few issues complying with this new
requirement. I like the idea and honestly, ARIN is damned if they do
(see this pretty inane thread) and damned if they don't (wait until
RIR exhaustion 'day' comes and goes and watch the conspiracy theories
as to why ARIN didn't 'do more').
Best,
Martin
