John Ripe605 made a recall from memory of discussions on the ppml probably around the time I started participating on the list. I simply have not made the time to dig back in the archives to refresh my memory....I do remember a lengthy community discussion about legacy holders and keeping resources within the region....of course things have changed since then and I have been listening attentively to the recent exchanges about inter RIR transfers....which I suspect may continue to evolve after runout whilst the transition to ipv6 remains slower than we would all ideally like to see....but there is a suggestion that the reassignments ecosystem needs some kind of ongoing monitoring mechanism.

It's actually a fairly complicated question, since there are many legacy holder who already participate in the registry and update their resources (e.g. abuse contact, DNS servers) without any formal contractual relationship with ARIN. In any case, individual legacy holders are unlikely to be the major contributor of inaccuracy in the registry when compared to those parties who fail to update the registry with their reassignment information (despite the requirement to do so per NRPM 4.2.3.7.) We do know that many folks are quite good about making updates before they request more IPv4 space, but that's unlikely to be a significant motivator for much longer...
