Hi John, Not really, no. My question was about procedures followed in practice, not policies that might or might not have been derived from RFC2050 and might or might not have been followed by NSI acting as Internic (not an RIR) in the last few months leading up to ARIN's inception. > You first argued that ARIN promised to maintain old allocations with > no policy changes, and subsequently (upon seeing that the actual policy > directly supports needs-assessment for transfers) changed your argument > to say that no policy at all is applicable to old resources...

Your honor, my client has never even touched a gun and if he has he didn't shoot anybody and if he did it was surely self defense. ARIN has no authority to regulate the legacy registrations. If it did, that authority would be constrained to a conservative reading of the template and process used to register those addresses or, at the absolute most, a reading of RFC 2050 with all ambiguity construed in the registrants' most favorable light.
