David is quite correct - IPv4 has significant portions which are =
administered under
specification of the IETF (and this is certainly the case of the IPv6 =
address space,
the vast majority of which is administered under the stewardship of the =
IETF.)

the other RIRs, the entities to which ARIN currently delegates, or the =

this

However, the main thread of this discussion originated in response =
discussions
of the meeting expenses of associations in general, including some =

ARIN met this spring in Jamaica. Everyone=E2=80=99s free to have their =
own opinion on
that, but just for information=E2=80=99s sake, I=E2=80=99d point out =
that ARIN has a straightforward
meeting schedule - we meet twice per year, once jointly with NANOG in =
the fall,
and once independently in the spring. The fall meeting is at locations =
set by
NANOG (and predominantly in the US) so we try to alternate the spring =
meetings
between our other two sectors - Canada and Caribbean. We have more than =
25
countries in ARIN=E2=80=99s region, and getting to the Caribbean once =
every other year is
important for outreach to folks in that area - for example, the =
attendance at the
Jamaica meeting showed very strong Caribbean participation (48 attendees =
from
the Caribbean out of 125 total) compared the typical participant =
distribution at US
and Canada-based meetings.
Anyone who has suggestions or concerns about ARIN=E2=80=99s meeting =
schedule should
reach out with specifics to myself or other folks on the ARIN Board.
Thanks!
