Given that there is a need for an email confirmation for all correspondence to this process, can you either eliminate the last step on this page (the "security box") or make it a lot easier to guess the letters?

ARIN Comments

ARIN includes the CAPTCHA (security box) on the suggestion form to try to prevent automated spam bot submissions. Our experience is that our forms without this security box are bombarded by these bogus submissions, which in turn, could lead to denial of service attacks against ARIN systems.
