This is indeed interesting and good news. One thing about the article confuses 
me: what precedent was set here? That ARIN can enforce a signed, written 
contract as normal under the law? Was that ever in doubt?

Bill -

You ask: "Was that ever in doubt?"   Not by me, but from time to time we’ve had 
folks raise questions about the legal enforceability of the RSA.

The precedent set is that the terms and conditions fo the RSA were effectively 
enforced by the arbitrator’s decision, including two specific basis for 
revocation: 1) RSA’s entered fraudulently may be considered as void (and 
resources revoked), and 2) in the alternative, to the extent that we consider 
the RSA a valid contract, then the fraudulent conduct is a breach the RSA (also 
permitting revocation.)

Thanks,
