Bill - You are incorrect. ARIN has reclaimed legacy resources, as legacy number resource assignments are just a limited set of rights to entries in ARIN’s registry database and subject to the same policies as all other registrants. You seem to believe in some magic essence that precludes ARIN from administering its own registry database – good luck with that – you might do better with an actual contract. (I note that the vast majority of such cases involving revocation of legacy resources had resources that creatively hijacked in one form or another, and the “registrant” that had operational control disappears rather contest the revocation – thus leaving ARIN free to see if we can find the bona fide registrant or legal successor…) Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (ARIN-PPML@arin.net).
