<div class="">If you have IPv4 or IPv6 resources under an RSA/LRSA, then you are an ARIN service member. </div>

</div>
<div class="">ARIN service members in good standing can (via ARIN online or by contacting the RSD helpdesk) opt</div>
<div class="">to become ARIN general members and participate in ARIN governance – this includes agreeing to be</div>
<div class="">included on the ARIN member list, assigning a voting contact for your organization, and participating in </div>
<div class="">ARIN elections.</div>

<div dir="auto" class="">My point was that you said community, not general members. I understand that I am blocked from voting because I don't pay enough.</div>

<div>There is no additional fee involved in becoming an ARIN general member - it’s available</div>
<div>to all service members in good standing upon request (“good standing” meaning current</div>
<div>with ARIN on their invoiced fees.)</div>
