Release of Portion of Escrow Funds to ICANN

Scott Bradner motioned that the ARIN Board of Trustees authorize the President to release $243,020.00 to ICANN. This represents 50%
of the funds that ARIN is holding in escrow pending the execution of a contract between the RIRs and ICANN. This was seconded by
Scott Marcus. The Chair called for vote in which the motion passed unanimously.

note to self:
I'll probably regret having a word wih this troll, but I'll take the
chances. :)

Jim,
WHAT makes you think that RIPE NCC pays for addresses?
WHOM do you think they pay to?
Please don't even mention IPv8/IPv16 this time, they are not in the
question so I expect an answer clean of those two.
