I think the real issue is whether ARIN has any rights claims over number block holders it does not have a contract with. RIPE seems to have foregone any such claims.

Not sure I buy the assertion that these principles were in the foundational documents; why did you need to add this language later? The 'no property rights' language came very late in the day. > > Perhaps at some point some party with more at stake, will force the > > property right issue in court, > > That actually could be quite beneficial, as would help in providing further > certainty regarding the ability of ARIN to maintain the registry per the > wishes > and policies developed by the community. Parties without any agreement I think it would be easier for everyone if ARIN would just ease its needs-assessment requirements for transfers. The whole threat of litigation could be dissipated in a week if this happened. _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
