Any M&A, or organization changes, have a cost
regarding business records, and it is incumbent
on the organization to be prepared to pay that cost
for changes. Updating ARIN records (and the cost
of doing so) is no different, and should not have a
special "out" just because it can be take time or
the people involved did/do not want to invest that
effort. The days of informal handshake number
deals are (or should be) long over. Get over it, and
do the (boring, painful, but necessary) work.

I very much agree, there is and almost certainly should be work involved.
So, yes with any M&A, or other organization change, you should have to
the "Business Office" part of documenting business records associated
with the change. The rationale for this "Business Office" part is
clear. Its necessary to prevent fraudulent changes to resources, and
ARIN has a clear fiduciary responsibility to ensure this happens
correctly.
However, I do think it is a reasonable question to ask, should you also
have to do the "technical" documentation that the paragraph in question
requires as well? Frequently, such an organizational change implies
little to no technical change. So, what is the rational for doing this
"technical" reporting? Let me be clear, I'm not saying there isn't a
valid rationale, but I personally can't articulate it. So, I'd
appreciate it if someone would articulate a valid rationale for this
"technical" reporting.
Thanks
