Please suggest your preferred means of IRR authentication to the ARIN=20
suggestion process: <https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html>
Alternatively, point to a best practice document from the operator=20
community for what should be done here. ARIN's work plan is very much
driven by community input, so that's what is needed here.
Thanks!
