Yes, that is the list.  ARIN 26 attendance is not typical, as the
ITU Plenipotentiary is underway at the same time, and many of the
typical government attendees must be down in Guadalajara Mexico, 
during this time along with ARIN outreach staff.  It is true that
many governments are unaware of the registry system, despite our
outreach in places such as IGF, ITU, and WSIS; the lack of past
government involvement has been considered a sign of success, but 
it may have the unfortunate side effect of leaving the system more
exposed to interlopers than desirable.  ARIN took the action of 
reaching out with educational materials to every ITU member in its 
region prior to Plenipot, but that is far more challenging in other
parts of the globe.
