[NA-Discuss] ARIN Participation at the Nonprofit Technology Conference

[Robert Guerra]

Richard:

Being the person who suggested the idea ARIN attend, well, great to  
hear that the ARIN participation at the NTEN event was a success.

It is a great community, one that is very active - and more  
importantly  truly is in touch with a very  broad user base in the US  
and beyond.


regards,

Robert
