It’s not a common occurrence, but for a detailed reassignment or reallocation to an individual, they are reminded that much of their entries in the registry will be public (used to support Internet operations globally) and acknowledge as much via entry into the RSA with ARIN. (Note that in the United States and Canada, folks can generally operate as a sole proprietor under their full legal name to the extent that they not engaged in sales of taxable goods or in a regulated profession, so this hasn’t been an issue.) > It seems unlikely that allowing natural persons to receive a reassignment or > reallocation would impact ARIN's B2B operational status, whereas a direct > allocation from ARIN would. See above.
