The community has loudly and recently spoken about which goal of RFC-2050 is universally accepted. That goal is registration. If you want to continue to maintain the fallacy that the entities which are actually routing and using the addresses as their own, after legally purchasing those rights, are not the ones who should be listed in the Whois registry, then you are standing the goal of registration on its head by simply defining all the entries as accurate, in the same way the authorities responded to Galileo (“and yet it moves”), by asserting the primacy of words over reality. Mike - You may say "legally purchasing" rights, but I truly don't know what these parties think they purchased, since it can't be the ability to inject routes and have them accepted (no one can provide that) nor the right to use the entry in the registry, when the circumstances are contrary to policy. This is not new concept; e.g. you can buy a radio station broadcast license from an existing operator, but it's not actually a sale until it passes regulatory approvals to be reassigned to you. Until that time, your purchase is without any actual substance. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
