Please elucidate and construe is you see fit.
Hi John, Plenty of ambiguity. Which criteria must be met for the legacy registration? The current RIR criteria? The criteria as practiced by InterNIC when ARIN made its promise? The criteria as practiced by InterNIC when the legacy registration was made? Some criteria laid out directly in RFC2050? If you accept RFC 2050 as controlling, one of the RIRs must approve the transfer. Not necessarily ARIN. But in the context of ARIN's promise regarding legacy registrations, it's not obvious which criteria ARIN is expected to apply when evaluating the request. And at least some of the candidates boil down to: are you really you? Ok. Transfer approved. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
