Matthew - A typical example is a someone who believes that they are a legacy resource holder because they are the technical or administrative contact on an address block (but the organization field points to a company from long ago) who comes to ARIN wishing to update their organization field to match a more current organization. In these cases, because the organization field is changing, the request is a transfer. Upon entering into the process (which in their view started simply as "updating their ARIN info"), it is made clear that ARIN will need to see appropriate documentation (to insure this isn't actually a hijacking) and to see utilization information per NRPM 8.2. At this point, some number of requesters will abandon the process. Some of those are because of lack of documentation or effort to produce same, and some are because of fears related to utilization, agreements, etc. I hope this help explains at least one very typical portion of the transfer abandon rate. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
