ARIN has asserted that individual members (and in fact individual AC members)
don't have a right to have these types of questions answered.
ARIN has NEVER asserted that members or individuals have no right to
have these types of questions answered.
To my knowledge, neither Karl nor anyone else that I can think of, has asked
ARIN any questions regarding it's involvement in Sprint's decision to
filter prefixes. If someone is asking now, the answer is that the
registries (ARIN didn't even exist at the time Sprint began filtering)
had no involvement other than to request that Sprint lower their filters
from a /18 to a /19.

Should I repost the list of questions I've sent through the AC list (without
answer) to NANOG Kim?

This discussion wasn't ONLY about Sprint's decision to filter prefixes.
