I wish to retract what I wrote earlier : I totally acknowledge and support ARIN's phrasing, and it was absolutely not meant as a challenge. ARIN does not lease me the IP block I thought I "bought" on the transfer market. What I "bought" is, by the result of a complex by-product iterations of ARIN acknowledgement that although I neither own or rent the apartment, my name is on it, I somehow expect that the community will somehow consider that my org is the one who should announce the prefix allocated / assigned to said org, and not someone else. Is this appropriate langage ? I am going to move the thread of transparency to arin-ppml, where it belongs. Michel.
